First-hand experiences
Great short walk picturesque lots of interesting bridges and river areas .. juat be careful with this app as limited detail of the route, not much zoom capability and the much has no heads up or due north features
Beautiful walk
(April) A really lovely varied and peaceful walk through villages, over rivers and streams, woodland and meadows.
Lovely walk!
Walk information
The second route also starts from outside St Mary's Church but this route is a longer walk heading south past the River Dorn and along Church Lane.
There is a short section along a country lane when you reach the southern end of the walk before heading back along farm tracks and scenic Oxfordshire countryside back to the start.
