グレートミルトンでののおすすめウォーキング＆ハイキングルート

Lovely long flat stretch of running along the Shotover Plain, accompanied by soaring views across the Oxfordshire countryside.

A local Oxford favourite. Not far from the city and an easy ride out. Perfect for a quick loop from town if you're short on time.

Shotover Country Park is a beautiful greenspace to the east of Oxford; perfect for hiking and summer picnics. This area is a Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI) for its important wildlife habitats, so follow any guidance you see on signs. Free to use, the plain and parkland are home to some incredible views of Oxford's many spires.

to pause for lunch

Either start at the top for a downhill to horspath or steep uphill and down towards Wheatley.

great little wood on the outskirts of oxford

nice wooded area with traditional british forestation.

The ancient Shotover Oak (Quercus robur) fell on 13th of July 2015 after a severe drought, having survived much turmoil including the decimation of the Royal Forest by both Royalist and parliamentary armies in the siege of Oxford 1644-46. The new shoots on the base of its trunk are guarded from rabbits and deer by a chestnut palling fence. Hopefully this ancient oak will rise again in time.
