Corner of the Cotswolds Signature Hike
This lovely circular walk, within easy reach of London, demonstrates that we live in a less crowded island than you might imagine. It takes you across two river valleys, the Glyme and the Evenlode ‘“ both of which join the Thames downstream. Passing several historic Oxfordshire estates, it also crests the Wychwood Way ‘“ giving big sky views ‘“ and touches on Shakespeare’s Way. Pretty villages are separated by bluebell woods, open fields and wildflower meadows, all teeming with birds and other wildlife. With a great pub halfway round, you won’t go thirsty for long. Back in Charlbury, the starting point, you have access to a coffee shop and two more good pubs with rooms. A lovely way to spend a day.’
