🌿 Dorchester-on-Thames & Wittenham Clumps Circular Walk
Join us for a scenic and varied circular walk combining countryside, riverside paths, and a touch of history.
We’ll start in the picturesque village of Dorchester-on-Thames and head out along quiet lanes, passing through areas rich in history, including land once explored for its Roman heritage. From there, we’ll cross the river and begin a steady climb up to the Wittenham Clumps.
The climb is well worth it—at the top, we’ll be rewarded with beautiful panoramic views across Oxfordshire. We’ll also pass Castle Hill, the site of an ancient Iron Age hill fort, and stop near the commemorative stone marking the former Poem Tree.
After taking in the views, we’ll make our way back down and return to the village via a peaceful riverside path—perfect for a relaxed finish to the walk.
At the end of the walk, there will be an optional pub stop for anyone who would like to stay for a drink or a bite to eat 🍻
