The Ock Valley Walk follows the River Ock on gentle, mostly level paths. Benches, gravel and paved routes, and a slightly wild, wooded feel make it an easy, soothing stroll that still connects neatly back to the town centre.

How a new Churchill apartment could help reduce your costs:
We offer some of the lowest service charges in the retirement sector which is why many of our Residents are pleasantly surprised to find that the service charges work out lower than what they were paying, in comparable costs, on their previous home.
This is because the service charge combines a wide range of services and property-related expenses into a combined cost. Residents find they benefit from a more manageable and easier-to-budget lifestyle, without having to worry about unexpected maintenance bills.
We always aim to keep the service charge cost as low as possible, and we provide a full budget breakdown for all our Residents, consulting with them on this every 6 months.
The service charge covers:
- The cost of your dedicated Lodge Manager
- Security systems
- 24-hour Careline call monitoring system
- External maintenance of the building and grounds
- Heating & lighting of communal areas
- Provision of furnishings in communal areas
- Building insurance
Who is responsible for the management of the Lodge?
All developments are managed by Churchill Estates Management Limited, our own property management company, so you can be confident in the expertise of our team operating under the Churchill Group.
No exit fees, meaning no unexpected costs!
In 2025 we announced that Residents will no longer pay any exit fees when selling or subletting their apartments, making the process far more straightforward and hassle-free. Whilst many retirement housing providers still apply fees, we have set a new standard by abolishing them entirely - helping to provide greater peace of mind and making life simpler both for Residents and their families!
Calculating your savings...
We appreciate everyone's household costs will differ which is why we encourage Customers to complete a 'Savings Calculator' with one of our Sales Executives. This calculator is designed to offer a comprehensive understanding of the value in our easy to budget Service Charge.
Abingdon-on-Thames is a historic market town on the River Thames, a few miles from Oxford and among the oldest towns in England. A shopping precinct, regular markets, and a riverside setting give it plenty of appeal, with everyday amenities close by, making it a pleasant place to enjoy retirement.
Beyond the town, the Thames Path follows the river in both directions, while the countryside of the Vale of White Horse and the spires of Oxford are close at hand. Good bus and road links make Oxford, Didcot, and wider Oxfordshire easy to reach for days out.
Local highlights
Abingdon's Abbey Gardens, beside the Thames, occupy the grounds of a great medieval abbey, with lawns, flowerbeds, and the remains of historic buildings. It is a restful spot for a gentle stroll, a picnic, or watching the river drift by in the heart of town.
The County Hall Museum stands in the marketplace in a grand 17th-century building designed in the style of Christopher Wren. Its free galleries cover local history, and the rooftop offers views across the town, making an easy and interesting visit.
Abingdon's riverside is a fine place for a day on the Thames. You can stroll the towpath, watch boats pass through the lock, or take a river cruise in summer, with waterside pubs and cafés close by for a relaxed lunch.
What our Residents say
Don't just take it from us
“I feel as if I have a suite in a luxury hotel, the atmosphere is relaxed and friendly whilst the surroundings are very tasteful and high quality. Churchill have been in this business long enough to know what they’re doing and it shows. I can’t praise them highly enough for what they do to make the move run as smoothly as possible. There is a significant uplift in quality and style at Clinton Lodge when compared to other options I considered before making the move.”
“My apartment is very well designed for comfort and safety, which is paramount for single living. In fact the whole building and the people in it makes you feel safe and comfortable. After losing my husband it is giving me peace of mind, and my family are also glad to know that I am safe, warm and happy. If you are in a house that is becoming a worry as you get older, with the upkeep and bills, I would urge you to think about Churchill. Having a Lodge Manager to call on is so helpful, and the lifestyle on offer here can offer you so much.”
