Other walks in the area
Steventon to Abingdon
6 miles almost entirely off road and flat walk from Steventon to Abingdon with a return journey on X2 bus (you can park in Steventon Village Hall). If you walk on a Sunday morning, you can have a coffee and cake at Sutton Courtenay weirs. On a hot day there is plenty of opportunity for a dog to swim in the Thames.
As you pass behind Sutton Courtenay there are a few footpath options; however, whatever route you take you'll end up close to the Church, and the George or Sawan pubs before headding to Sutton Courtenay Weirs. Then follow the Thames Path to Abingdon.
The Red Lion - Route 1
An easy walk over flat terrain around The Red Lion.
The Red Lion - Route 2
An easy walk over flat terrain around The Red Lion.
The Red Lion - Route 3
An easy walk over flat terrain except when climbing Blewburton hill.
Abingdon to Steventon
Abingdon to Steventon following some of the old Berkshire and Wiltshire canal. Start along the Ock valley path through Abingdon and then head west out into flat fields. Some good paths to start with however some of the paths in the fields as you approach Steventon are not well maintained. The final fields into Steventon at Hill Farm often contain cattle. I would generally advise this as a dry weather walk.
The footpath out of Abingdon suburbs is poor and I have adjusted the route to follow roads and tracks. After passing under the railway on the ranch to Steventon the OS footpaths are not reliable; at one point the path was ploughed and planted with wheat so I followed the field edge for some time.
The X2 bus runs between Abingdon and Steventon 7 days a week so can be used to close the loop.
The Harrow circular, West Ilsley
This circular walk will bring you to explore West Ilsley countryside.
Radley to Oxford
This is the fourteenth and final stage of the multi-day route "Railways and Waterways, between Oxford and London".
This riverside walk transitions gently from tranquil water meadows past Sandford and Iffley Locks, through a nature reserve, into the bustling outskirts of Oxford, where the boathouses of the various Oxford Colleges are evidence of the strong rowing culture of the city.
Cholsey to Goring Railway Station
A varied walk. Some gentle hills at first with good views across the open countryside. The second half of the walk is along the Thames Path. Some boggy sections to be avoided. There are no stiles but one awkward footbridge to cross.
