MTB Wantage

Can be slippery and deep, wouldn't want to do this in winter.

The bridge is wide and flat. On the north side is a good and smooth tarmac road towards Aston. On the other side, on Chimney Meadows "island", is a bridleway to the ford leading to Duxford and a path (cyclable but it's meant to be walked) leading to a hump-back bridge with steps. If cycling you'll need to carry your bike over that bridge.

Temporarily closed, so you can’t’t go in a loop, but you can continue path through wooden bridge. Lock is in the centre of a triangle formed by the small villages of Shifford, Duxford and Chimney. It is at the start of a navigation cut built with the lock by the Thames Conservancy in 1898.

A Grade II listed church. The South Chapel was built in the 13th Century and the majority of the main building built in the 14th and 15th Centuries. The Neo-Gothic porch with the pinnacles was only added in the 1860's. And the tower suffered a fire in the late 1800's but was restored later.

In autumn/winter months when this crossing can be dangerously deep take a footpath along the Thames which will allow you to cross via a footbridge and thereby gain access to the other side of this ford. It's quite fun!
