Join us ‘Coming Up For Air’ in the Chilterns to discover George Orwell’s ‘golden country’. His childhood here in the Oxfordshire countryside can be seen to have influenced passages in some of his writing, as we will discover on our walk.  We start out from Shiplake station along the Thames where Orwell loved to fish, then head up the hill to Binfield Heath and Crowsley Park to discover a ‘listening station’ with echoes of Big Brother. After a break at the Bottle & Glass Inn (with Orwell’s approval!) we continue through bluebell woods where 1984 hero Winston would go to escape the Thought Police. Finally returning to Shiplake we pass the house where Orwell once lived.

View some of the old mills along the way, walk part of the Old Oxford Road, hear about the Machine Breakers Riots of 1830 and discover where the Mitford Sisters spent the summers in Wycombe before and after World War II. Bring your own coffee and lunch.

Starting and finishing in Woodcote, we take an archaeological tour of the woods and fields of Goring Heath. Rather than sauntering past lumps, bumps, and clumps in the landscape, we discover a Romano British enclosure, medieval boundaries, lynchets and a holloway. There are also plentiful traces of a more recent past--when the woods were busy with brick and pottery works, and timber was sawn into planks to begin its journey from tree trunk to furniture. And it's a lovely woodland walk
