We provide tea at the end of the day. We have produced this document to help pilgrims in their planning. Day One – Radcot to Newbridge 10 Miles Getting there: OS Explorer 180 has most of the route except for the first mile from Radcot Bridge to Radcot Lock. Start grid reference: SP2801.

Lunch: Four miles from Radcot Bridge, The Trout at Tadpole Bridge (01367 870382) provides meals, but the best option is to take a picnic.
