We are the Oxon Weekend Walkers. We open the way for everyone in our local community to enjoy the pleasures of walking.
Wytham Woods are a 423.8-hectare (1,047-acre) biological Site of Special Scientific Interest north-west of Oxford in Oxfordshire. It is a Nature Conservation Review site.
Habitats in this site, which formerly belonged to Abingdon Abbey, include ancient woodland and limestone grassland.
We will be walking around these beautiful woods and exploring the neighbouring countryside which will include the Thames Path and probably some very muddy footpaths.
Sorry but dogs are not allowed in Wytham Woods
Please bring drinks and snacks for the walk.
As there has been so much rain and flooding, the exact route will be planned just before the day but expect a walk of approximately 10 miles with some hills in the woods, and plenty of mud.
After the walk, you are warmly invited to join us in The Plough, The Green, Upper Wolvercote, Oxford OX2 8BD at 4 pm for the AGM . Some refreshments will be provided!

Car park: Wytham Woods has free parking for a generous number of cars. Sat Nav users should use OX2 8QQ - please make sure that the route your Sat Nav is using takes you through Wytham Village. There is no car access to the woods from Farmoor side. When you arrive in Wytham village, take the turning next to the White Hart and then turn right onto the private road. Keep going up the hill until you reach the car park on the left. Bus: The ST2 Science Transit Shuttle runs from Oxford to Wytham on an hourly basis. Visit the Thames Travel website for timetables, fares and route information. The Number 6 bus runs from Oxford to Wolvercote, from which Wytham is a 20-25 minute walk. Visit the Oxford Bus
