Escape the city for a 10km walk through the Cotswold countryside.

We’ll take the road through the pretty village of Kingham, venture out along the farm track (wellies required- this bit gets muddy in winter) towards Daylesford. We can pick up hot drinks at Daylesford farmshop at the 4km point (pricey but excellent coffee) before carrying on through the woods, over the fields and back through Bledington village.

I have booked a table for lunch at The Kings Head for 2pm. It is at about the 8km point.

Driving:
If you’re driving there is plenty of parking at the workshops.
Public transport:
Train from Oxford to Kingham leaves at 10:44am and arrives Kingham at 11:10am. The station is 400m from the workshops.

Toilets available at the meeting location.

Entries are open for this popular local trail race in Wytham Woods. Pre-pandemic it used to sell out, so don't delay if you're interested in taking part.

Register for the race here.

The organisers describe the race: “Inspired by local runners, we have designed two beautiful woodland trails set in ancient Wytham Woods.”

The 10k has plenty of climbing, but we all know that at the top of every hill is an opportunity to stop and admire the view!
