National Cycle Route 544

The route is 12 miles (19 km) long, and overlaps with part of the ancient Icknield Way and frequently links to The Ridgeway National Trail.

[1] The path continues through Upton, merging with the Icknield Way as it continues west, behind Harwell and East Hendred, through the Harwell Science and Innovation Campus.

The route then follows a quiet country lane through the Lockinge Estate, including East and West Ginge, and East and West Lockinge.

The route is frequently used by commuters between Wantage, Didcot and the Harwell research centre.

The change created a traffic-free stretch west of Upton.
