Dry and Fast

Better when dry

The old bridle way which was extremely overgrown has now been completely re-done the full length right from Heyford to village farm

A lovely, peaceful stretch of the Oxford Canal running parallel with the River Cherwell.

Free parking is provided at Heyford Train Station for rail users only. However there are several, marked parking bays outside the boundary fence on what I took to be a public road. These too are free of charge. I got there at about 5.30pm and was able to find a space.

Coffee shop with bike shop. Hot choc, real honey flapjack and chocolate brownie were all outstanding.

A mile north of Lower Heyford is its twin village Upper Heyford. Its location in the Cherwell Valley gives it excellent access to the verdant Oxfordshire countryside. There are plenty of local trails to explore. The Barley Mow pub is a good lunch option. The nearby RAF base was decommissioned in 1993 and many of its buildings are now listed as scheduled monuments. The site is popular with local urban explorers.

Somerton is a quaint little village in the Cherwell Valley. To the north of the village, by the Oxford Canal is a pillbox from the Second World War. The parish church of Saint James to Apostle dates back to the 11th century and is now Grade I-listed. A great option for dinner is the Secret Supper Society. Inspired by the Cuban Paladares, this is a 'home restaurant' where diners eat reasonably priced, yet excellent food, all from the comfort of the owner's home dining room.
