We begin our 9 mile circular walk at Culham Lock, following the Thames Path eastwards to the picturesque village of Clifton Hampden with its iconic bridge and church. Leaving the river briefly, we skirt around the Culham Science Centre before rejoining the Thames Path and continuing towards the historic market town of Abingdon.
