Abingdon on Thames - A Walk to the Market Square
I am in Abingdon-on-Thames in Oxfordshire. I am here to explore the Abbey and the remaining buildings that have survived since the
Dissolution of the Monasteries as well as the ravages of time.
But first, in this video, I take a walk from the bridge over the Thames into the market square and explore some of the historic features along the way.
There is the Nags Head, the public house on the bridge, the Broad Face, a pub that reflects the hangings that took place in the area, the old Abingdon Gaol, the Abbey Gate House and the magnificent Market Hall, to name a few.

Walking the Thames Path Oxford to Abingdon
Out on a part of the path I had not videoed. Reflected back to the first time I walked it , Autumn 2017 with a friend of mine from work . I think he was drunk when I suggested it but true to his word we walked from Iffley lock in Oxford to Abingdon. There was a beer and a good pub as part of the bargain. It was from this walk that I decided , I wanted to find the source of the river Thames and went later in the month . Then it got addictive and I found myself planning the next section on my days off , Trailblazer guide book in hand and through out my journey on the path , I went from videoing on my phone to using a go pro which is what I use now. Rough and ready little videos but I have them to help me remember my amazing walks and journeys

Thames Path - Source to London - Abingdon to Goring - Day 5 of 12
Day 5 of 12 of an epic walking adventure through some of England's most beautiful countryside and incredible history. A walk that covers 186 miles from the source of the river in Gloucestershire to the Thames Barrier in the east of London via historic towns of Oxford, Henley and Royal Windsor to name a few.
Monday 1st April Abingdon to Goring Day Five
The Thames Path Challenge - 184 Mile hike from Source to London - Click on the image to watch the video of day 5 of the hike. An epic adventure
The Crown and Thistle was a lovely pub to stay in, if slightly noisy by the road.
We tried to leave early and get on our way, especially with such beautiful weather forecast. However our plans were thwarted with the appearance of a fantastic breakfast that we just could not resist. Delicious food with plenty of choice, not just an English Breakfast.
We finally left at 8.15am, walked over the river and resumed the well signposted route. A beautiful morning with buildings and trees reflected in the water. We had decided not to book any accommodation in advance, just see where the day took us. After 2 hours of walking we arrived at the Barley Mow Pub, Clifton Hampton built in 1352, making it one of England's oldest pubs visited by the authors Dickens and Jerome K Jerome. Unfortunately it did not open till 11.30am so not visited by us, we moved on.
We came across Benson waterfront cafe, which was amazingly busy considering we had again hardly seen any people all morning. We would have popped in, but were put off by the queues.
An hour later we came to a path to the left which follows an ancient dyke to Dorchester. This village is well worth a detour, with ancient pubs, houses and the church that was once an Abbey, and the first public toilets seen so far. We then walked down a path at the side of the A4074 road, where the Thames Path joins it to the Kingfisher pub in Shillingford. Arriving at 12.45 unfortunately it was shut.
Disappointed we followed the path down the lane to river, sat on bench and produced our bread bought in Tesco the night before, and the stalwart peanut butter. Our next stop was Greggs bakery in Wallingford, a lovely town and again worth a visit.
Greggs Sandwich shop, (A chain bakery that prepares breads, savoury snacks, sandwiches and sweet treats).5-6 Market Pl, Wallingford OX10 0EG
We wandered through Wallingford, returning to the Thames Path at the Beetle and Wedge restaurant which also looked shut. We checked bookings.com and booked The George Hotel at Pangborne. There were nearer hotels, but unfortunately a lot more expensive. Pangborne was actually too far to walk that day so when we arrived in Goring after 22 miles/9 hours of walking, we visited Tesco and then caught the train just one stop to Pangborne. The train was about £2.00 each, and runs every 15 minutes. We planned to catch the train back in the morning, and resume our walk from Goring station. The advantage of this being as well as saving money, we can leave a rucksack at The George to collect later. I saw that tomorrow rain was forecast, hopefully not making the path too muddy. We have had fabulous weather
so far.

Abingdon the Oldest Town in Britain 25th January 2013
Filmed on the Vivitar DVR 410 (VGA 640 x 480 not HD)
One of Britain's oldest towns, Abingdon in the county of Oxfordshire developed around the gates of an abbey founded in 675. At the time of the Dissolution of the Monasteries ordered by Henry VIII Abingdon Abbey was 6th richest abbey in the land. Picturesque County Hall dominates the Market Place. Noted almshouses flank 13th-century St.Helen's Church. Banks of the Thames lined with lovely old properties. Two fine bridges spanning the Thames and the River Ock now listed as ancient monuments.
There are delightful riverside walks with the river being a focal point for recreational activities such as boating and fishing. From the comfort of a pleasure cruiser visitors can enjoy splendid river-scapes, river wildlife and good views of the town.
In medieval times the town prospered from the wool trade but in recent times the fortunes of the town have been dependent on the car industry. Printing and brewing play a major part in the town's economy along with other hi-tech industries.
In the pleasant Oxfordshire countryside surrounding the town farms and agriculture continue to flourish.
Hotels, inns and restaurants are plentiful. This handsome town has much to interest and excite the visitor. It makes an ideal base from which to explore rural Oxfordshire.
