Oxfordshire Walks
These walks start from Shillingford Bridge and follow a peaceful stretch of the River Thames before heading out into the surrounding countryside near Little Wittenham.
You’ll find a mix of riverside paths, open farmland, and woodland trails, with the option to include the climb up the Wittenham Clumps for wide views across the valley.
Whether you choose the shorter riverside stroll, the middle route through woodland and fields, or the longer full circuit with extra climbing and views, these walks offer an easy-to-follow day out with a relaxing return to the hotel for refreshments.

Walk information
This is the middle length route from Shillingford Bridge Hotel. It enjoys the riverside walking and takes you deep into Little Wittenham woods as well as giving you plenty of fresh air through open farmland.
It avoids the climb up to the Wittenham Clumps though which is part of the longest route below if you have the energy.
Parking at the hotel must be paid in advance.
