The Clumps Through Time

Wittenham Clumps isn’t just a beautiful spot for a walk – it’s a landscape packed with stories. People have been living, working and leaving their mark on these hills since prehistoric times, through the Bronze Age, the Romans, and the Anglo-Saxons. Every hill and field has something to tell.
