First-hand experiences
Lovely walk. It took 2 and a quarter hours with my parents who are around 80 years old and was quite challenging for them with steep ascents and descents

This is a longer walk around the Aston Rowant Nature Reserve which enjoys the same lovely countryside, wildlife, woods and hills as the short route, but also extends out along the Icknield way to take in more countryside and woodland.
