Watlington Circular

Watlington Circular

Date of Adventure: 2 Jun, 2024
This 4 mile Watlington circular walk starts off at Watlington recreation ground – a day out in itself with a brilliant playground, skatepark bowl and ramps – and takes in woodland, The Ridgeway, Oxfordshire Way and ancient paths. Remember to turn around and appreciate the views of Pyrton Hill as you climb the Oxfordshire Way. There is a real differentiation in landscape for each section of the walk which made it interesting and feel much less that 4 miles – totally do-able with children.

Stop in at the Spire & Spoke on the way back, beloved by cyclists, walkers and locals, and marvel at the views over a pizza and a pint. There’s a cozy fireplace on the go in winter too.

The link has easy to follow step-by-step instructions for the walk and other highlights of the Chilterns – of which there are many!
