The Three Castles Path passes the park so you could pick this up to extend your walk. If you follow the waymarked trail north east it will take you into the expansive Swinley Forest. Here you'll find miles of walking trails and three good mountain bike trails to try.
Just a mile to the north there's the National Trust's Finchampstead Ridges. There's some lovely heathland and woodland here with fine views from the high points. The lakeside trails in California Country Park are also located in this area.
The Crowthorne Walk starts from the nearby village and visits the park. There's a train station here so you could come by public transport and follow footpaths south to the reserve.
For more walking ideas in the area see the Berkshire Walks page.
