ホイットチャーチオンテムズでののおすすめウォーキング＆ハイキングルート

All cyclists are able to pass the toll bridge for free

This is a scenic riverside area located in the village of Pangbourne that features open green space popular for picnics. The meadow is a great place to stop and rest whilst travelling the Thames Path National Trail.

Particularly on a clear, sunny day, this is a fantastically beautiful walk. River Thames winds its way slowly towards Goring-on-Thames, but you also pass beautiful green fields with livestock grazing in them as you walk. A lovely, peaceful and tranquil walk.

All along the south side of the Thames between Purley and Pangbourne there are gorgeous views across the water. There are often swans, geese and ducks swimming by too.

Across the river in Oxfordshire is a wonderful view of Hardwick House, supposedly the inspiration for Toad Hall, as illustrated by E H Shepard in Kenneth Grahame's 'The Wind in the Willows'. You can also see Hardwick Stud, (recognisable by the clock tower) which is part of the Hardwick estate, renowned for breeding race horses.

Mapledurham Lock is in fact on the south side of the River Thames in the village of Purley. It was built in the late 18th century with the current bigger upgrade built in 1908.
