Slow Ways linking Chalgrove and Berinsfield, Oxford, Thame, Wallingford, Watlington (South Oxfordshire)
England / Oxfordshire / Chalgrove
Chalgrove’s five Slow Ways are 60% checked
Help connect Chalgrove
Many Slow Ways have several route options. Some will be better than others, or good for different reasons.
Our goal is for each Slow Way to have at least one route that is verified and surveyed. To be verified – and get its snail badge – a route needs at least three positive reviews.
Give a hike and help get a for every one of Chalgrove’s Slow Ways.

Latest Updates
The footpath on the approach to Benson now weaves through a new housing development. There is an urban walk through Benson, with a break point at The Crown Inn. Alternatively, there is a road route south from Benson into Wallingford, where there are plenty of amenities....

An attractive walk which covers a stretch of the Thames Path National Trail, farmland footpaths between villages, and concludes in a stretch of the Shakespeare’s Way long-distance footpath. The route leaves the river at Sandford Lock for a short urban walk and a less than salubrious overgrown path around a sewage works. On leaving the village, a footpath south from the church (Photo 2) can cut a short loop from the route. The Slow Way soon turns east to mostly follow the Shakespeare’s Way all the way to Chalgrove [Photo 3]....

Slightly longer than perhaps necessary but makes for a better and easier to navigate route. Have done this myself....

Furthermore, the verges you'll have to take refuge on are high - up to 30cm high in places - and frequently sloping....

Walk this routeThere's a section of road at Pyrton, before entering the outskirts of Watlington. From Watlington to Chalgrove: you leave Pyrton on a bridleway just after the two stepped brick walls flanking a driveway, not the footpath just before those walls.....

Walk this routeSignificant parts of it are on 'fenced' paths - this can be a benefit as in my experience, paths with fences or hedges on both sides tend to be easier terrain than the edges (or the middles) of fields, particularly in winter when I undertook this route....

The first quarter starting from Berinsfield is on road, but were relatively quiet on the Sunday morning when I walked it....

To the west of Tetsworth, just before you cross the M40, there are multiple paths signed, but it isn't easy to tell which of them corresponds to the official route - nor which of the signs correspond to navigable paths....
Martin McGovern
Significant parts of this route use existing pathways – Shakespeare’s Way specifically, including sections where Shakespeare’s Way and the Thames Path are one. One possible route variation at Stadhampton – the official route takes you on the road and past shops and a pub – if you aren’t hungry you can continue on the Shakespeare’s way going across the B480. At Chalgrove, the route seems to leave the road at the Lamb pub. As the route bends right and leaves the Kassam Stadium/Grenoble Road area, the route is hard to spot....
