Overview

We start on the Icknield Greenway and head east through Lockinge Clump, passing the Ardington Stones, and on to the village of Ardington. Following the Vale Way, we continue to West Hendred before looping round to re-join the Icknield Greenway and continue our route east. Reaching the perimeter of Harwell, we turn south ascending up onto the Ridgeway turning west with, hopefully, spectacular views back over our earlier route and further north. After a lunch stop we descend from the Ridgeway heading north before turning west following Ardington Brook to Lockinge and back to the start.
