Great views either side of Hambleden Valley with the bonus of coffee and snacks at Hambleden Stores or the Stag and Huntsman

Great Wood is really great! Beech trees, wide tracks, peace and quiet, and fantastic rolling hills views from its south-eastern edge towards Hambleden. A good place to get the medicinal tree effects for your soul!

A most beautiful place in Oxfordshire

Meander through beech, oak, and ash trees on this beautiful section of walking through Lambridge Wood. The area has been declared a biological Site of Special Scientific Interest.

Hartslock Nature Reserve is a beautiful, south facing chalk downland hill, which affords breathtaking views over the River Thames and Goring Gap. The grassland, which is surrounded by ancient hedgerows and woodland, is home to myriad species of plants and animals, some of which are extremely rare. As such, it has been designated a Site of Special Scientific Interest.

Although you are less than 35 metres above the river valley, this vantage point gives you a 180 degree view of the Thames Valley between Henley-on-Thames and Hambleden Mill. You should be able to see the river in places. At this point, the river follows an arc, which is an ‘incised meander’. At some time in the past, the natural sinuosity of the river channel has been cut down into the landscape, preserving it in a fixed position. This view is at its most colourful in the autumn when many of the trees turn yellow, brown and red. This is also a good place to see red kites gliding on the wind and to hear skylarks singing overhead.
