Overview

We will leave Woodstock and head north towards the lost village of Hordley.  Depending on the conditions, we may either follow Akeman Street or continue north to skirt the stone built village of Wootton.  We will follow the Glyme Valley east to later enter Blenheim Grounds through the Ditchley Gate. We will weave our way through the quieter park and farm areas of Blenheim before returning to Woodstock.
