This is a nice casual walk around the countryside to the south of Checkendon.

Walker review

An enjoyable morning walk but in places the path was very overgrown. Walked on a summer morning so no mud but suspect will be a lot after rain

Walker review

Pleasant springtime walk (Easter Bank Holiday). Have now walked circuit bith ways. Equally enjoyable.

Walker review

There is a warning note at the start of the route for dog owners from January 2021 advising of cases of alabama rot in the area.

This extended walk takes you through various woods including College Wood and Lackmore Wood, across open countryside and through the villages of Woodcote and Checkendon.

If you want refreshments, there is a small detour to a nice pub half way around the route. Note: There is some road walking on this route and you have to cross the fast A4074 road.
