The Oxford Way long-distance footpath runs for 68 miles (109 km) from Bourton-on-the-Water, Gloucestershire, all the way to Henley-on-Thames. It goes through the Cotswolds to the Chiltern Hills. This is a nice woodland section that passes through Queen Wood, just south of Christmas Common, where incidentally there is a good pub!

This is a beautiful cemetery, worth stopping at. Lots of beautiful, old gravestones in the grounds here. There are also two chapels: the larger of the two is quite Gothic-looking, and was erected in 1881. Its spire looks particularly impressive and makes for fantastic photos in any weather and from pretty much any angle.

Deer Park and Henley Park form one large parkland north of Henley-on-Thames; the path running through it is essentially a straight line: it's perfectly easy to walk, enjoy watching the sheep grazing, look at the tall evergreens planted here and take in the fine views from above Henley to the south. The park was created in the 13th century as a deer park for the Fawley Court Estate. Within the park, you will also find a country house.

The path drops down steeply here into the coombe (a short valley); spectacular views from here. Do stop for a while to enjoy and appreciate them properly!

A totally amazing sight, this! This is a brick kiln, built in the late 17th or early 18th century. Nettlebed produced first tiles and then bricks from the medieval times until the 20th century.

Hambledon Lock is a historic lock situated on the River Thames that features a long weir. The lock has seen various renovations, and even featured in Charles Dickens' short ghost story.

Excellent variety of land- and river-scapes. One word of warning; the first four miles are very flat, and the last two miles are the most challenging, so save something for the final push (or do it in reverse order)!

Spanning the Thames, Henley Bridge dates back to the late 18th century. With five arches and made of stone, it's quite striking. Its age is impressive but it actually replaced a wooden predecessor and, before that, evidence shows another stone bridge was in its place, perhaps Roman. Nearby on the Berkshire bank is the Leander Club, one of the world's oldest rowing clubs.
