Long Wittenham
Long Wittenham park is not easy to find. We spent some time looking for it, even attempting to go to the shop to enquire - but were informed that the shop had closed down about five years before, shows what I know! I will spare you the effort of hunting it down for yourself. Driving away from Didcot, along the High Street, take the road to your right that goes off towards Little Wittenham (There is a sign saying 'Little Wittenham 1 mile' on your right hand side just before the High street bends around heading towards Clifton Hampden). Take the immediate left and it is next to Cotsmill Garden Offices - the large green space on the map:) Warning: the track is in an extremely bad state of repair.
Find this park on the google map I made for you.
This park is probably more suited to children a bit older than my 4 year old. But Thomas did enjoy the swings - they go really high.
The usual assortment of climbing equipment. There are a couple of pubs in Long Wittenham, on the main road through the village, as is the school.
There is another recreation field in Long Wittenham but there is no playground equipment. It's a grassy area with football goals, a small cricket area and basketball nets. Not really for small children. It's on the left hand side of the High Street as you walk into Long Wittenham via the footpath that starts in the Ladygrove. The mobile home site is opposite and Pendon Museum is a tiny bit further down on the left.
The Plough allows children to use their w/c.
Irrelevantly...
There is a church in Long Wittenham - St Mary's. Here are some stained glass windows.
