    Tips

    March 9, 2020

    Cycling

    Comprised of two chalk hills, the curiously-named Wittenham Clumps are a popular place to hike and cycle. The highest hill, Roud Hill, reaches 390 feet (120 m), whilst Castle Hill stands at 350 feet (110 m). Castle Hill would once have been an Iron Age hill fort protecting an ancient settlement here.

    The view from the top of the hills is stunning as they afford panoramic views over the surrounding countryside and towns. Artist Paul Nash once described the hills as "a beautiful legendary country haunted by the old gods long forgotten."
