Overview

This leisurely walk is out of the ordinary in that it incorporates many permissive paths, courtesy of the Berners Allsopp Estate. Many of them follow the River Ock, which originates in this area. From The Green we’ll start by going westwards to pick up the permissive paths, continuing clockwise back to the village then over the B4508 to join the D’Arcy Dalton Way (named after the founder of the Oxford Fieldpaths Society) back to Longcot. Bring a drink and snack for the break. All being well, The King and Queen pub will be open for lunch for those who would like to eat or just have a drink together (completely optional). Park considerately in the village. Vale Walk Leader DC 01367 820683 / 07544 979253
