# 🥾 Walk 206 - Cox Green and White Waltham

On Sunday 31st January, fourteen of us met up in the rain at Okwells Park in Cox Green. Despite the inauspicious start, the rain cleared up within an hour of starting the walk. It remained wet underfoot, of course.

The walk started by following some quiet roads that took us westward to the edge of Cox Green, where we joined a footpath taking us past the edges of Woolley Green and Littlewick Green. Turning south, we crossed fields, a railway line and Shottesbrooke Farm on our way to Shottesbrooke Park. After a quick look at the church, we stopped by the pond to have our packed lunches.

After lunch we followed a footpath heading eastward to White Waltham. As we entered the village and crossed the playing fields, The Beehive pub hove into view. We stopped here for a drink before continuing eastward, through White Waltham and heading north after looping around Waltham Place.

The remainder of the route included fields, woodland, farmland and plenty of muddy paths. We arrived back in Cox Green by way of Lillibrooke Manor. This was an alteration to the original route that the leader chose to take on account of the seriously muddy paths found during the pre-walk done a week earlier. Once in Cox Green, we followed the road back to Ockwells Park, where we had started. See our route on Bing Maps.
