Home : Local Walks : - Oxfordshire Way 4: Islip and Kirtlington
The next section of the Oxfordshire way is just 9km from Islip to Kirtlington, from where there are buses back to Oxford. However, there are various options to extend the walk beyond Kirtlington, as those who wish prefer on the day. One option is to follow the Oxford Canal south as far as Kidlington. Another option is to continue along the Oxfordshire Way, then through the grounds of Blenheim Palace to Woodstock. Both are attractive walks, and in both cases the walk will be about 20km with return by bus.
