Improvement works completed on Thames Path at Wallingford
We are pleased to report that work to improve the Thames Path at Wallingford has been completed. A 750 metre section north of Wallingford Bridge has been upgraded to make it easily usable all year round.
The work has been generously supported by funding from the Trust for Oxfordshire's Environment Places for People grant scheme.
