Paices Wood
Today we will be at Paices Wood with John Lerpiniere. We will be clearing vegetation in the Glade area as well as cutting scrub, pollarding trees and possibly having a bonfire. Parking will be in the top car park. Please see directions below.
From north Newbury or Thatcham, take the A4 towards Reading. At the Coach and Horses, turn right towards Brimpton. Go through Brimpton and Brimpton Common, then 3 miles from where you turned off the A4, turn left onto the B3051, signposted Aldermaston, Reading and Basingstoke. After half a mile turn left off the B3051 and half a mile further on, turn left at the T junction onto the A340, signposted Pangbourne and Aldermaston. Shortly afterwards, turn left at the brown signs for Paices Wood Country Parkland. Unless your vehicle is over height, ignore the small car park on the right. Go under the height barrier, carry on for about 200m, then turn left where the sign says Top Car Park.
Please remember to bring your own gloves, hand sanitiser and refreshments.
From south Newbury, take the A339 towards Basingstoke, and in Headley turn left towards Ashford Hill. When you reach a T junction in Ashford Hill, turn left onto the B3051, signposted Aldermaston. Follow the B3051 through Brimpton Common and after just under 2 miles from the Ashford Hill T junction turn left off the B3051. After half a mile turn left at the T junction onto the A340, signposted Pangbourne and Aldermaston. Shortly afterwards, turn left at the brown signs for Paices Wood Country Parkland. Unless your vehicle is over height, ignore the small car park on the right. Go under the height barrier, carry on for about 200m, then turn left where the sign says Top Car Park.
Please remember to bring your own gloves, hand sanitiser and refreshments.
NB – if you approach Paices Wood along the A340 from the A4, there’s no right turn into the entrance to the Country Park, so you need to drive past the entrance, go all the way round the next roundabout and come back to the entrance to turn left into it.
