To Wittenham Clumps & Beyond.

We decided to make a day of it and have a lunch stop as well as tea. We started at Stoke Row and took in Ewelme, Benson, Newington, Dorchester, Wittenham Clumps, Britwell cum Sotwell and back through Wallingford. 35 miles

Link to map - takes a few seconds to open

Looking out from the Chilterns we will cycle to the horizon & beyond.

Coffee & Walnut cake to go with my cuppa.


Lovely church at Newington.

In a strong breeze it's not easy to focus

  1. Enjoyed these John; done most of these villages on my bike many years ago.
    The poppies at Ipsden might yield a competition print with a bit of work,
    Cheers
