Buckingham, Bourton, Coombes, Adstock linear, 6.4 miles
Another walk with Walking for Wellbeing, we set off mid-afternoon along the river up to the old Bourton road and out towards the Roman bridge near Thornborough. We stopped for a chat by the river where my companion related tales of playing in the water there as a small child. A short hop along the road to the Coombes wildlife reserve and dinner on the bench overlooking the rookery. We continued up past Brightmoor and took the long way up to the road, down past Pilch Farm and back along the long bridleway to Adstock. This was a nice walk with beautiful, quiet open country after the Roman bridge and a lovely stretch back to Adstock village.
