Walk details
A gentle 5.5-mile circular walk starting from Wallingford Market Place, heading across Wallingford Bridge and into Crowmarsh Gifford. From the village we continue eastwards, briefly joining The Ridgeway National Trail before turning back towards Wallingford through open countryside. The return route passes through the attractive grounds of Mongewell Park, eventually rejoining paths that bring us back into the town. The walk is mainly on good tracks and footpaths with some grassy sections and gentle gradients.
