Overview

Option to meet for coffee at 10am in Courtside café by the tennis courts which are diagonally across Bury Knowle park from the main gate on the London Road. Walk is via footpaths, quiet public and private roads and green spaces in JR hospital grounds to Brookes University, on metalled surfaces to avoid mud. Mostly level with descent followed by very gentle ascent. Opportunity for coffee at Brookes University cafe at the end of the walk. Recommend travelling by bus, paid parking available at Waitrose car park. Start and finish are both on X20 and 400 bus route. A joint walk between Thame and Wheatley Group and Oxford Group.
