Overview

A circular walk including two sections of the Ouse Valley Way and two sections of path alongside Padbury Brook.  The route takes us past the cathedral-like former abbey church at Hillesden and to Steeple Claydon and Padbury.
There will be a lunchtime pub stop in Padbury where it is okay to eat our own food if buying a drink. The pub doesn't serve food so bring all that you need for the day.
Assistance dogs only please.
