From Dorchester, we head up onto the Wittenham Clumps before walking through Little Wittenham Wood to Shillingford where we will have a short break before carrying on along the Thames Path to Benson. From Benson we will walk to Warborough where we will have a longer snack break before returning to Dorchester. We should be back at the start by 1:30 so bring whatever food you need to sustain you until then. Vale Walk Leader SY 07855 496161
