Overview

A circular walk with a picnic to celebrate the anniversary of the Ramblers Jubilee Walk. From Harcourt Hill we will walk through part of the Hinksey Hill Nature Reserve, past the golf clubhouse, and join the route of the Jubilee Walk through Happy Valley and the Old Golf Course up to Boar's Hill. At about 12.30 we will meet members of other Ramblers groups for a picnic at Jarn Mound. Please bring picnic food; a celebration cake will be provided. Afterwards we will follow the route of the Jubilee Walk past Youlbury Scout Camp and then directly back to the starting point at around 2.30pm. This is a varied walk with one gentle climb and some good views over Oxford and the surrounding countryside. Free car parking and bus route 400 from Osney and Harcourt P&R. Meet by the bus stop in the main car park. Oxford Walk Leader Tony C 01865 244146 / 07772 374272
