Oxfordshire walks - Great Tew
Its going to be beautifully warm and sunny this weekend so we thought a short easy walk around the delightful ‘Picture Postcard’ Cotswold village of Great Tew and its wonderful park would be just the ticket!
To get the app and this walk visit https://www.localwalks.co.uk/ or search for 'Oxfordshire Walks' on your app store.
The walk starts at the village car park and travels south and then east along the main foootpaths around Great Tew Park. On the route look out for St Michaels and All Angels Church which is aproached through an unusual gateway, along a path flanked by ha-has.
The route around the park brings you back into the village where you could take time to explore. You will see the gorgeous deep honey coloured thatched cottages with mullioned windows and the quaint local pub ‘The Falkland Arms’, an old ivy-clad 16th Century building which is unfortunately closed at the moment due to Coronavirus but still lovely to see.
You can see a full list of Oxfordshire walks here.
Taking regular exercise outdoors amongst nature is good for both our mental and physical health at this time, but whilst out walking please remember to keep your distance from other walkers to help stop the spread of Coronavirus.
