Today’s walk begins at St Lawrence Church in the market place at Lechlade. The building was completed in 1476, but is probably on the site of an earlier Saxon church.

The route follows the Thames Path to Newbridge, with good stopping points at Kelmscott, Radcot Bridge and Tadpole Bridge, all of which have pubs close to the river. At Kelmscott, a 10-minute walk through the village takes you past Kelmscott Manor, the home of William Morris, one of the founders of the Arts and Crafts movement, to St George’s Church. This has outstanding 13th century wall paintings and fabrics donated by the Morris family. The walk ends at Newbridge, which has a pub at each end of the 13th century bridge – the ‘Maybush’ and the ‘Rose Revived’.
