This local walk whilst flat and easy does have some stiles to contend with.  We will cross fields, stride along lanes and stop to take in interesting features.  We start by walking to Foxham via the NT meadows and the weir, and loop back from the Foxham pub (sorry not open this early), to Avon. We go past Manor Farm to the lovely raised Maud Heaths Causeway crossing over the river at Kellaways. We now amble across the fields to the Greathouse at Kington Langley and hence to the church.  Our next destination is our return to the beginning via Lake farm once we have safely crossed “Draycot Straight”.

Please bring your lunch.
