Overview

We walk through Shillingford back towards the river and onto Shillingford Bridge. After another mile we come to Benson Marina and a ferry across the river (£2) The footbridge at Benson Lock is closed and the ferry is an alternate to 2 miles of road walking into Wallingford. We can enjoy our packed lunches in Wallingford at the end of this short section. The afternoon can be spent looking around the town before the X40 bus back to Reading and then the train home.
