Overview

This is a gently undulating walk along the paths, tracks and lanes to the southwest of Faringdon.  Leaving the car park, we head southeast towards Great, then Little, Coxwell passing through to Fernham to reach Uffington.  Skirting the village, we head west to pass Oxlease Farm before turning northwest along the D’Arcy Dalton Way to return to Badbury Hill via Longcot and Ashen Copse.  The going is likely to be good but with some soft patches.  The walk passes through some woodland and some of the hedgerows will provide shelter but otherwise the walk is very much in the open.  There are 7 stiles in fair to good condition.
