Wittenham Clumps - Location

Location

Wittenham Clumps are located at grid reference SU569925, close to the River Thames, and good views can be had from the Thames Path along the river. The panoramic views of the Oxfordshire countryside from the clumps themselves are also spectacular. Day's Lock and Dorchester Abbey are clearly visible in the valley to the north. The cooling towers of Didcot Power Station dominate the skyline to the west. To the north-east is Little Wittenham Wood, which borders the Thames, and to the south-east is Brightwell Barrow. The wooded area at the top of Castle Hill, which contains a public footpath, is now closed indefinitely due to the danger of falling trees.
