The walk

Radcot Walk

This is a lovely there-and-back riverside pub walk from the Ye Olde Swan pub in Radcot.

You'll first follow the path that tracks the beautiful River Thames as it winds its way towards a pretty lock. Then, after a rest soaking up the peaceful lock, you'll head back along the same riverside path to the pub, for your well earned reward!

Please pop in to the pub let them know you are using the car park and will of course visit them for refreshments after your walk!

Walker review

Walked to the lock then the return path along the field is completely overgrown and inaccessible so retraced our steps along the river. Very pleasant and pizza at the Swan pub delicious.

Walker review

Access was ok just one section was a bit overgrown after you leave the riverside.
