The air is cooler, the leaves are changing colour and many of our local parks, woodland trails and riverside paths are at their best. Whether you are staying with House of Fisher for work, relocating to the area or enjoying a few days away, a walk is a simple way to unwind, stretch your legs and explore somewhere new. With accommodation across Berkshire, Hampshire and Surrey, there are plenty of great walking routes within easy reach of our apartments, from riverside paths and canal walks to woodland trails and open countryside. ## Reading Reading offers a great mix of riverside walks, green spaces and longer countryside routes. The Thames Path is a popular choice, with sections running through and around the town, while walks along the River Kennet offer a quieter alternative. If you have more time, you can also head towards Caversham, Mapledurham or Pangbourne for a longer route. Our Reading walking guide includes a range of options, including the Reading Town River and Canal Circular and stretches of the Thames Path. Our 100 Kings Road and City Wall House aparthotels are both well placed for exploring the town and surrounding area.

Swinley Forest is one of the best-known local spots, with miles of woodland trails to explore as the leaves begin to turn. Our Bracknell walking guide also includes routes around Binfield and a number of local parks and open spaces. Whether you fancy a short afternoon stroll or something a little longer, there are plenty of options nearby. **[Explore our Bracknell walking guide](https://houseoffisher.com/the-best-walks-in-bracknell-berkshire/)** ## Newbury For a relaxed autumn walk, the Kennet and Avon Canal is hard to beat. The canal runs through Newbury town centre, making it easy to pick up the towpath and enjoy a gentle waterside walk. Head east towards Thatcham or west towards Kintbury and Hungerford for a longer route. Our Newbury walking guide also includes the River Kennet Canal Circular and walks around Beacon Hill and Burghclere, giving you a good choice of both easy and more energetic routes. It is also a lovely time of year to keep an eye out for local wildlife along the canal and surrounding countryside. **[Explore our Newbury walking guide](https://houseoffisher.com/the-best-walks-in-newbury-berkshire/)** ## Basingstoke Basingstoke has a good mix of parks, countryside and historic walking routes. Our local guide includes walks around Cliddesden and Ellisfield, the War Memorial and Costello Trail, and routes around Preston Candover and Bradley. Closer to the town centre, Eastrop Park is ideal for a shorter walk, with paths alongside the River Loddon and plenty of open space to enjoy. For guests staying in Basingstoke, it is an easy way to get outside without having to travel far. **[Explore our Basingstoke walking guide](https://houseoffisher.com/the-best-walks-in-basingstoke-hampshire/)** ## Farnborough Farnborough may be best known for aviation and business, but there are plenty of green spaces and walking routes nearby too.
