Long Wittenham - Amenities

Amenities

The village has a sports club: Long Wittenham Athletics Club, which is based at Bodkins Field. This and other flat fields around the village have often been used as impromptu landing sites by hot-air balloonists.

The village has an annual fete. It used to take place at the Vicarage until the mid 1990s, when it was re-located to The Plough Inn.

At the eastern edge of the village is Neptune Wood, planted in 2005 as one of 33 British Trafalgar Wood commemorating the 200th anniversary of the Battle of Trafalgar.
