2. Charlbury, Oxfordshire, August 2018
The planned walk for today started at the train station in Charlbury in Oxfordshire. We were due to walk 11.5 miles which would take us to the small village of Chilson, through Wychwood Forest and the village of Finstock and then back to Charlbury.
Despite being well equipped with map, compass, route description and a hand held GPS, we still seem able to often go wrong and today was no exception. We ended up doing three extra miles due to wrong turns at various points along the way. Luckily we were not short of time although the extra mileage meant that it turned out to be long walk.
The station at Charlbury looks quite old fashioned. I imagine it is busy on normal weekday mornings as this must be commuter land, but on a bank holiday Monday it was pretty deserted. Upon leaving the village, we were soon walking along the edge of fields in lovely countryside never far from the River Evenlode. We stopped to have our packed lunch in Chilson before moving into Wychwood Forest. This was the section of the walk I was most looking forward to. I love walking through forests and woods. I love the quiet, the atmosphere, the look and feel of the trees and the feeling that you are surrounded by nature, beneath your feet and overhead. For me it really feels like you are walking into a space of balance; like I am almost intruding in a place where so many other creatures live and they are probably watching me pass through.
In these woods are ancient burial grounds of around 5000 years old, although they were hard to make out among the undergrowth of the trees. The wood is much smaller than it was many years ago, with much of this space having been used for other purposes.
Leaving the woods, we were soon passing through the village of Finstock and then walking through the Cornbury Park Deer Park. Sam was hoping to see the deer. We thought we were going to end up disappointed but just as we were about to reach the end of this section, Sam spotted some deer, although they were keeping their distance.
We ended up back at Charlbury and popped into The Bell Inn for a quick drink. I was hoping to find that they would serve Wychwood’s Hobgoblin, which would have been a fitting end to the walk. Sadly I had to settle for another pint, but at the end of this walk, it still felt well deserved.
To complete this walk yourself, use OS Explorer 180.

SWC Free Walk 115, Moreton-in-Marsh Circular.16/5/11.
A lovely, peaceful walk in the Northern Cotswolds. 'Officially', 12.3 miles but this walker recorded 15.9 on the 'standard' walk.
This is a 'map walk' and requires associated skills. From Moreton, the walk follows the 'Diamond way', via Aston Magna, and other paths to lunch in Paxford. The walking is relatively flat and easy-going.
After lunch, it's easy-going to Broad Campden and then a steady incline to join the 'Heart of England Way'. This takes the walker on to the lovely village of Blockley, and the descent across relatively level fields back into Moreton.
This was one of the few walks that I've done in this series that wasn't disturbed by aircraft noise - delightful!
Well worth the trip out from Paddington.

Another part of my day out on the Cotswolds Discoverer.
After getting off the bus in the lovely village of Moreton In Marsh
I joined the 12:50 service to London Paddington, whch started at Worcester Foregate Street at 12;06, and I alighted at Oxford before heading onto Didcot Parkway.
This video sees the short distance from Charlbury to Hanborough.
We did have one small moment of drama as you will see in the video,when on the approach to Hanborough, some odiot runs across the line right in front of our train , so the driver hits the emergency brake to bring us to a dead halt.
After a minutes check, we slowly moved into Hanborough Station.
Hope you enjoy.
