This is where the Thames almost meets Farmoor Reservoir. As you hike along the footpath here, you are walking on a thin strip of land between the two waters. The Thames is vibrant and peaceful in the summer and you can walk along it as far as you like, on the Thames Path or, locally, the Oxford Greenbelt Way.

Just a stone's throw from Oxford and Farmoor Reservoir, St Michael's lies in the sweet village of Cumnor. The church is very active with services on site and online. With sections dating back to the 11th century, the church walls have plenty of stories to tell.

A lovely village. To the west you will find smooth roads and flat terrain, while the north will lead to the cotswolds.
