Overview

An easy 5.5 mile walk, just to the south of Stow, going through the lovely villages of Icomb and Wyck Rissington. Starting from Wyck Rissington, with its long wide green, we follow the Diamond Way through delightful countryside to Icomb and then follow the Oxfordshire Way back to our start, where we will have the chance to visit the 12th-century St Lawrence Church, where Gustav Holst, the composer, was organist. 

Bring refreshments for a snack break

Note: This walk is a dress rehearsal for the planned Evesham Walking Festival Walk EWF19 on 28th June. See the weblink below for details of the walk.
