Getting outside this weekend? Here’s some ideas:
Start and finish at a glorious pub garden with the Marston Hamm walk
Stand on top of the world on a sunny day at White Horse Hill
Wander around a reservoir at Farmoor (also a great café!) or try the longer Farmoor Countryside Walk
A 5k loop that starts and ends at a pub (we spot a pattern here) and amazing Chilterns views
A trip to University Parks in spring is always a good idea!
