Hello from Walkers are Welcome Group!!

Responding to all the comments: as WaW Charlbury Group supported by the Council, we have investigated Slow Ways and think it is a great initiative, including a route Charlbury/Chipping Norton.

We have many circular walks on this site ( Click WALKS header, then to get maps click on the individual pdf). We have recently opened 2 new paths.

Anyone can join us: message here or sign up to our WhatsApp group at 07974 565618 which arranges walks at the last moment.

Sadly it has not been in print (as far as I am aware) since Covid hit us, but there used to be some wonderful local walks (involving pubs!) in the excellent "Beer on Tap".

There has been some talk at the Town Council’s Environment Working Group of developing such a network as one of a number of initiatives.

A local contribution would be to post on the Charlbury website the different walking routes to all the neighbouring towns and villages. Useful for newcomers and visitors.

It's a great project (I made a small contribution in the early crowdsourced phase).

Thank you for sharing this Malcolm. I have just started taking a look at their website.

Only just stumbled upon this. Any of our local cartographers been into this initiative? From The Guardian:
