Wed March 2nd - Shenington - Epwell 4.4 miles


This is a New Walk.
Leaders Derek and Brian
Spring is on the way! Put away your anaraks (in your rucksack!). 10.am. start as usual. Please share cars as roads are narrow in the village and parking tight. 

It is a very good ramble in the Cotswolds, east of Banbury. There are many stiles, I am afraid, most not too difficult. The walk is undulating with 1 or 2 steep but short hills. It is a lollipop shaped walk. That is, it is roughly 2 miles from Shenington to Epwell (pronounced Epéll, I am told. Then a banana break and a stroll around the village, if you are up to it or a rest if you are not. Keep your eyes open for the unusual sundial. Then we return the same route to Shenington. Both Shenington and Epwell are typical Cotswold villages.

I have put the postcode above for your satnav. Negotiate the major road works at Gaydon and turn right onto the B4100. After about 2 miles and after Temple Herdewyke turn right. After about 6 miles (through Edgehill) turn left onto B4086. Turn left onto A422 towards Banbury for just over a mile and then turn right to Shenington, turn right, right again, left near a church, and park near the Bell Inn as directed.
(about 35 mins drive)
