We are the Oxon Weekend Walkers. We open the way for everyone in our local community to enjoy the pleasures of walking.
Starting from the entrance to Kirtlington Quarry, we drop to cross the Oxford Canal and then pick up the Oxfordshire Way before turning to skirt Woodstock and then follow the route of the old Woodstock branch line to Shipston on Cherwell. Recrossing the canal we pass under the railway before passing the first of 3 churches on the return leg through Hampton Poyle and Bletchingdon.
Route is rolling countryside with no major hills.
Meet at 9:45 for a 10:00 start.
There is parking on Mill Lane leading down to Kirtlington Quarry from the village. Several areas of parking alongside track, but can get busy so consider lift share and early arrival.
Bring packed lunch and water.
There will be some livestock so dogs must be on leads when appropriate.
