Overview

Starting in Long Hanborough, we will take the new 'community path' through Blenheim to Bladon which has beautiful views of the rivers Evenlode and Glyme. We will continue onto Woodstock where we head back into palace grounds on public footpaths and on towards the village of Combe. From here, we skirt the village of North Leigh before heading back towards Hanborough.  The walk is mostly flat but likely to be very wet and muddy. Please note that it may be necessary to change the route on the day as some paths are prone to flooding.
