Route 001a Newbury Avenue Park (Short)

This is a short walk that will take you through the Newbury Avenue Park.

This route is less than 1 mile with an altitude variance of around 15 feet.

Important information:
Plenty of roadside parking is available for those that don't live along the route.
Additionally, there is a local centre, which includes a Tesco Express.
While this walk is fine for pushchairs, an oddly placed gate at the North End Play Area and some kerbs mean that I wouldn't recommend this route for mobility scooters.

Directions:

1a) I will start describing this route from Amberley Close, where the path follows a line of trees, then an avenue of trees that lead directly to Newbury Avenue Park.

1b) Newbury Avenue Park
There is a lovely circle of lime trees here, and plenty of benches. There is a dog bin, however no litter bins yet.

2) Exit the park on via the western path and continue in a westerly direction through Newbury Avenue.
This development was part of the Persimmon-led Lansdowne Park estate, built in the 2000s.

3) Cut through, via the gates on the left and at the end of this short alleyway, turn left again. The path bends a little before coming to more gates. At this point, turn left onto Carpenter's Close.

You will notice that this is no longer a close. It was opened up during the same Lansdowne Park development, which added Woodsage Way.

4a) Continue on to Braemor Road, a 1960s development. Braemor Road will turn a left corner, with the straight direction becoming North Way. Just after this point, on the left, is an alleyway with a lovely beech hedge.

Follow this alleyway to the North End Play Area.
There is plenty of play equipment for children, along with benches.

4b) Exiting the northern end of the park will lead you back to Amberley Close, the end of this circular walk.

Thank you for using this route!
