Abingdon looking picture-perfect today as the Thames Path Relay passed clematis in a Maud Hales Terrace garden, and through Burford Bridge. Fascinating skyline of St Nicolas Church tower pinnacles and the cupola and roof terrace of Abingdon Town Hall, in historic Abingdon-on-Thames. Geese and goslings 🤗🤗
