Nestled on the banks of the River Evenlode, Charlbury is a picturesque market town. Its welcoming atmosphere, beautiful surrounding countryside and a number of pubs and tea rooms make it a treat for hikers.

The Great Western Railway made it an important stop on the Paddington to Worcester line and its train station, designed by the great Isambard Kingdom Brunel, is grade II-listed.

Hiking

There is a wonderful playground here for the children to enjoy, the local library is on site and they allow walkers to use the facilities (dirty boots removed), and you can also enjoy the cafe (and warmth) if you're walking in the colder months.
