ウッドコートでの 周辺の簡単なハイキングとウォーキング

Former clay pits from a long gone brick works.

Some describe the view from this hill (at 182m) as the best view in Woodcote. It sure is lovely - to the south-east, over the paddocks and then College Wood, you can see the distant landscape miles away from here. Worth stopping to enjoy.

Welcome to the beautiful College Wood: tall beech trees, wide tracks (delightfully leafy underfoot in the autumn) - and no motorbikes are allowed here as a few horse stiles have been installed. So if you want to not only "walk in beauty" as Sir Tennyson did, but also wish for silence and serenity, you have now found the place.

Nice woodland with bridleway/footpaths running through. Excellent spot for Bluebells in the spring. Scenic climb/descent from/to Battle Road to the south, reached from Beechlane track to the north.

If you're riding through Woodcote you won't be able to miss the village sign by the Villgae Green and Cricket Club. A thatched cottage on a green field takes centre stage in the sign between 2 different types of trees, a clear blue sky behind it. The name 'WOODCOTE' is carved in golden letters in an arc above the cottage on the blue background, while at the bottom the sentence 'A CHILTERN VILLAGE 2002' is carved in the same golden letters on the green field. Incidentally, Woodcote won the Oxfordshire Village of the Year title for 2008.
