Hambledon

 

Map for Hambledon

 

Situated between Henley-on-Thames and Marlow off the A4155. In Mill End, turn north to Hambleden and shortly after turn right up a narrow lane. This climbs a steep hill. Take the next turning right and the parking is either in the field on this corner or, if wet, along this lane.

This is a generously hosted lawn meet with three lines. Almost entirely over old pasture, each line has hill work including the one you drive up to reach the meet. There are some interesting drop fences and a couple of hedges, one of which is probably our widest holly hedge and provides great spectator appeal, located close to our host's house at the end of the third line. The going is always excellent here and there is the added attraction of two river crossings.

Tea is usually at Ye Olde Dog & Badger pub on the main road in Medmenham.
