Overview

From the parking area, we head east out of Buckland, passing through Hinton Waldrist and onto Longworth, passing the impressive church and manor house in both villages. We then head north to Newbridge where we join the Thames Path heading west. Eventually, crossing the river, we head south back through Buckland to the start.

There are two short road sections, which can be busy and whilst there are grass verges that can be used, care will be required especially on the road crossing the Thames at Newbridge. There are a few gates, no stiles and the route is predominantly flat(ish). The going underfoot should be firm throughout, although there are some rutted sections and the summer vegetation growth could impact some of the paths.
