Day 7 of the Thames Path, Abingdon to Wallingford.
Step 1: This walk starts at Culham Lock. The train station is 1.6 miles from the lock. Alternatively get a local taxi to Culham Lock Car Park to start the walk. We parked at Radley Station and caught a taxi there.

Step 2: Head out of the car park via a path into the lock area. Walk towards the river. Left is the bridge over Culham Cut.

Step 3: Turn right to continue upstream. You’ll pass the lock keeper’s cottage. Head out of the gate.

Step 4: There are fields on the right and an island left. A bridge leads across the river to Sutton Courtenay where the river meanders to the south.

Step 5: There are some wooded areas like this but this section is mostly in the open besides meadows.

Step 6: Head across the wheat field. The path curves to the right up ahead. Follow the tracks through the grass with the river to your left.
