This page gives descriptions of the footpaths, bridleways, byways and restricted byways in the parish of Yattendon, West Berkshire.

Yattendon lies some six miles (ten kilometres) NE of Newbury and, like so much of West Berkshire, is in the North Wessex Downs Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. The parish lies in the valley of the River Pang. The parish is a mixture of woodland, small fields and large arable fields. There is a school, one pub, a shop with a post office, a butcher and a hairdresser and a brewery with a shop. Details of the public transport service can be obtained from Newbury Buses. The path network consists of eleven paths of various classifications and a number of Access Paths. There are many links to other parish networks. The paths offer walks and rides through differing terrains such as Ancient Woodlands, old coppices, across fields and along ancient drove roads.

Paths with RED titles have obstacles such as stiles or steep hills which make them unsuitable for disabled people.

Paths with BLACK titles have no obstacles but may have uneven and muddy surfaces.

Paths with BLUE titles have no obstacles and have reasonably sound surfaces.

Local parishioners provided the route information. For more information on the wider network you should use the Ordnance Survey Explorer maps 158 (Newbury and Hungerford). These maps show all Public Rights of Way.
