We are a group who enjoy walking and socialising. Almost all of our walks end at the pub and we also organise regular monthly socials in Oxford and surrounding towns - we go for meals and pub trips as well as things like comedy, cycle tours and the theatre.
Please note the following:
There maybe a number of Ramblers members joining the group who are not shown on the Meetup RSVP list.
The group is normally easy to find by looking for a group in walking kit. Please aim to arrive 15 minutes before the start of the walk and if you are having trouble finding the group please contact the walk leader.
The organiser identified on Meetup may be different from the actual walk leader. Please see the description of the walk for their name and contact details.
In terms of what you need to bring:
- A packed lunch (unless the walk description says otherwise)
- Water
- Suitable clothing according to the weather conditions that day

Goring on Thames via Whitchuch Circular Walk (Joint Walk) (10 Miles)
Goring and Streatley Train Station, Goring, Reading RG8 0EP, Goring, GBJoin us for a magical 10-mile walk through some of the most picturesque landscapes in the North Wessex Downs, a designated Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.
With enchanting woodlands, charming villages, and sweeping views of rolling hills, this route promises an unforgettable experience.
This will be a joint walk with our friends from the Chiltern Young Walkers group—a fantastic opportunity to connect with like-minded people and forge new friendships along the way.
We’ll begin and end our journey in the idyllic village of Goring-on-Thames, a riverside gem where time seems to stand still. Surrounded by historic cottages and timeless scenery, Goring provides the perfect backdrop to set off on our adventure.
Our walk starts from the main train station on the southern edge of the village, following a peaceful stretch of the Thames Path before a short but invigorating climb to Primrosehill Shaw, where we’ll pause to take in stunning views of the Thames gently winding through the valley below.
From there, we’ll continue through a beautiful mix of woodland and open fields, passing through Great Chalk Wood, skirting a few working farms, and eventually joining the Chiltern Way as we make our way up to the quiet village of Whitchurch Hill.Here, we’ll enjoy a well-earned break and lunch stop at The Sun, a traditional country pub with a welcoming beer garden—ideal for relaxing with a cold pint or a refreshing soft drink.
Refreshed, we’ll head back along scenic trails through Little Oaken Wood, Shirvells Hill, Old Elvendon Wood, and the peaceful paths of Wroxhills Wood. The final stretch takes us through a tranquil valley and across open fields, returning to Goring from the northeast.
This walk is the perfect way to explore the natural beauty of the North Wessex Downs, share stories with fellow walkers, and enjoy a day of exploration, relaxation, and breathtaking views.
Don’t miss out—sign up today and be part of this memorable adventure!
