This handy guide contains 20 of the best cycle routes in the Thames Valley, including rides around Lechlade, Witney, Oxford, Wallingford and Marlow. Features maps and photographs throughout.
These cycle routes are designed for all levels of ability and dedication - from leisure cyclists to family groups and even the seasoned cyclist. The upper Thames between Kemble and Wallingford offers rides that are flat or gently undulating making them ideal for beginners. On the other hand, the more varied scenery between Goring and Maidenhead offers the opportunity for some more challenging rides in the hills on either side of the river valley.
