By the direct route Oxford-Wantage is 16.5 miles; on the principle of "Why take the direct route when there is a nice detour?" we are scheduled to get there in 1 hr 20 mins.
So, from Queens Lane we follow the A420 through the city and exit via Abingdon Road. Instead of taking the A34 we head over Hinksey Hill to Abingdon, and there turn right round the Northern outskirts to Wootton Road, which we take into the centre. We take the A415 out of Abingdon via Marcham. with a meander there, to Frilford where we pick up the A338 towards Wantage. We have another meander at East Hanney and again leave the A338 to go through Grove. At Wantage we again turn off for a last wander round its West side and enter Market Place from Mill Street.
