Last year, the Lower Windrush
Valley Project secured funding to improve access and promote three beautiful
circular walks in the Lower Windrush Valley. We have:
- Replaced 3 stiles with gates in Northmoor to enable easier access for walkers
- Added route signage
- Created a description and map of each route which can be found online here: https://www.oxfordshire.gov.uk/residents/environment-and-planning/countryside/walks-and-rides/west-oxfordshire-walks/walking-lower-windrush-valley/circular-walks

| New route signage |
The three routes have been selected
because of their ease of access, beautiful scenery, proximity to local
businesses and nature reserves, and links with the Windrush Path and Thames
Path National Trail. There is something for everyone – the walks vary in length
from 2.5km to 8km and two of the routes are now stile free.
The project was funded by Trust for
Oxfordshire’s Environment (TOE) with funding from Grundon Waste Management Ltd
through the Landfill Communities Fund, and additional support provided by Thames
Path National Trail and the Oxfordshire County Council Rights of Way
improvement budget.
We hope that the three routes will provide easy to
navigate route for visitors and locals. If you’re walking in and around the
Lower Windrush Valley, please remember to follow government guidelines
regarding social distancing.
