The Lower Windrush Valley in West Oxfordshire is much loved walking country comprising riverside pasture and the open waters of previous gravel extraction sites. This project has improved three circular walks within the valley based on their location, beautiful scenery, proximity to local businesses and nature reserve, and links with longer distance footpaths. The walks vary from 2.5km to 8km in length and two of the routes are now stile free thanks to TOE-funded gates. The project has also installed waymarkers and produced downloadable maps.
The Chairman of the local Parish Council, welcomed walkers to the area saying: “It’s a lovely quiet spot full of interesting wildlife, and we are really pleased to share it.” He also recommended the local pub!
