A lovely 26 miler through the quiet countryside lanes above the Thames valley. There are sleepy farm tracks surrounded by fields, backroads through bluebell woods and plenty of picturesque villages to pop through.


As you dip over the Thames twice there are two big hills to climb up and away from the river, but aside from these, all are do-able. With plenty of cake stops to choose from and easily accessible by train, it makes for an enjoyable day out.
