Ipsden Park 

Ipsden park was a bit of a surprise. I didn't really expect to find anything there, but as I'm nosey that didn't really stop me!

Ipsden is off the A4074 (the turning before the turn off for Checkendon), as you are driving away from Didcot and towards Reading. You will need to go over the Wallingford roundabouts and over the Thames. The turning for Ipsden is signposted and on your left. You will need to ignore the first left turn and the first right turn, continuing on. The park is on the right side of The Street. There is no obvious place to park but there are two large iron gates either side of the field, with enough room for a car in front of them.

Find this park on the google map I made for you. 

Lots of swings!

Lots of climbing equipment

Slide - apparently not very impressive, but you can't please everyone!

There are also swings for small children: 

Ipsden is in the Chilterns, so it is starting to get hilly just about around this area, which makes for amazing views. 
I really like the field the park is in, it's quite wild outside the mowed section. 

It appears that Ipsden is a really busy village, and I intend to revisit it again in a more leisurely manner. Brazier's Park looks particularly fascinating. 

There is a pub, a shop, a farm shop, a nursery school, a cricket club, a well. There is also a residential college here. 

I did, however, visit the church (of course!). This is a lovely modern stained glass:
