The Wittenham Clumps are one of South Oxfordshire’s most iconic landmarks. Rising high above the landscape, you are afforded breathtaking views over the River Thames and the surrounding countryside. The Clumps, which comprise Round Hill and Castle Hill, are steeped in history; with evidence of Bronze Age, Iron Age, and Roman occupation. The curved ramparts of Castle Hill date from the Iron Age, though archaeological work has shown that it was also a Bronze Age settlement. The area is also very rich in wildlife.

Easy walking for most people with parking near Little Wittenham Church (about 10 cars) or closer to the top of the hill at the main car park (about 30 cars). The paths are grassland and mainly remain dry and clean most seasons. The adjoining paths make nice walks in the woods and along the river. Bring some food as it's a nice picnic spot. But the emphasis is on bringing your own as there are no shops in the vicinity.

A lovely short simple mainly river-based walk, with a bit of height for some river views.
