Overview

Please park considerately in the village of Byfield and head for The Cross Tree (2 Banbury Road, Byfield NN11 6XL), where we will start the walk promptly at 10:30am.

We will be taking a route around the bottom of the Boddington Reservoir, then through Lower Boddington and on to Upper Boddington. We’ll break for lunch and potentially a visit to The Plough Inn before finishing the loop up and back round to Byfield.

The walk is 7-7.5 Miles in length and the path includes walking through fields, on tracks and a short stretch along a road. There are a couple of stiles and it is likely to be muddy in places. Please check the weather and dress appropriately.
