Local Walks

Important note for 2020-2021: Due to the social distancing regulations, the university has mandated that all local walks must have a maximum capacity of six participants (including the walk leader). To enforce this we will be implementing a sign-up system using SuperSaas, which will be circulated through our mailing list.

Local walks bring you around Oxford and beyond and is a great and easy way to see the countryside and other local attractions. All walks either start in Oxford’s city centre or use public transport (bus/train) to get to the starting point. There is no need to book your place in advance, just turn up on time!

Everyone is very welcome, you do not need to be a member of the club to come on local walks (although there are other benefits to being a member).

Local walks are run on weekends during term time. They are open to anyone and no membership is required, however due to the social distancing regulations we used a sign-up system with a maximum capacity of five participants (plus the leader). Sign-up for walks on each weekend opens on Monday of each week, and will be circulated via our mailing list. Please note the following schedule is tentative; further walks, modifications and further details will be added as the term progresses.
