Every Thursday morning just after 10am we start
from the Vale & Downland Museum, Church Street (

and byways of Wantage discovering bits of the town
you may not have seen before and get back to the
Museum for tea, coffee or hot chocolate afterwards.
We offer shorter routes for those who feel unable to
complete the whole walk at the normal pace.
We walk to about 11 am covering about 2 miles

Whenever necessary, the walk leaders will organise
a more limited walk for those who cannot manage
the full route starting out with the whole group and
re-joining the group in the Museum at the end.
