Beginning in Oxford, the route heads south, taking you through minor roads and using a permissive path by the River Thames. Next you join a traffic-free path parallel with the railway line.
After Radley, the route enters Thrupp Lane where care must be taken during the week as HGVs use this otherwise rural lane.
At the end of Thrupp Lane, traffic-free paths take you across parkland to the heart of the attractive town of Abingdon.
From here the route takes you via the beautiful village of Sutton Courtenay, arriving in Didcot by the railway station.
From Didcot you can get a train back to Oxford or explore the many beautiful routes around Didcot.
For a shorter route, try going as far as Sandford Lock (5 miles) or Abingdon (9 miles).
