Villa 1, Palace 1 [UPDATED]

28 November (end 7th week)

On the edge of the Cotswolds and not far from Oxford, this walk connects the pretty towns of Charlbury and Woodstock via Cornbury Park, the remains of North Leigh Roman Villa (free admission) and the grounds of Blenheim Palace.

The previously advertised walk via Dorchester and Wallingford has been moved to 24th October. This shorter walk will get you back in good time for the ceilidh (and with energy left over for dancing!)

Meet: Train station
Time: Please arrive in good time to take the 9:23 train to Charlbury. After buying the ticket to Charlbury meet the walk leader on platform 2 near the footbridge at 9:20. (The leader is due to arrive on a train at 9:06, and will meet people in the entrance hall if this is on time, but please do not rely on this.)
Return: Mid to late afternoon
Distance: 17 km/ short
Fare: £6 train (£4 with railcard) plus bus from Woodstock
Lunch: Packed
Leader: Alan Iwi <>
