Walk details

We're returning to the village of Radley for our Sunday Stroll after flooding back in February caused us to re-route the walk. From the station we set out to the north west skirting the grounds of Radley college towards Oxford.

Just before hitting Kennington we head east in the direction of Sandford Lock, first built in 1631, and join the Thames path back into Radley. In February Sandford Lock and the surrounding area was a few feet under water and completely impassable, lets hope we have better luck in August!

After our walk, for those that wish, we will stop in at Bowyer Arms pub for a drink.
