Overview

Starting from the Rye Farm car park, we will follow the towpath west.  
We will walk through Culham, maybe take our tea break by Culham Lock, then continue on to Clifton Hampden.  At this point we will leave the Thames and cut through the village.  We will walk alongside the Culham Labs and then rejoin The Thames and follow it westwards back into Abingdon. 

There are many options for refreshments in Abingdon so, depending on the weather, we can either indulge in ice creams or warm up with a hot drink or beer !
