소울던 최고의 MTB 라이딩 경로

Dry and Fast

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.

Great tucked away cafe with outdoor bike rack and seating. Perfect for a delicious coffee break or little treat, thoroughly recommend!

Take a breather and enjoy your snacks and the fresh air here at the Wonky Bench

Built in the late 1730s it is a significant and very early example of a ferme ornee and these days still serves as a shelter for a herd of rare cattle. On one side the arched alcove in its tower contains a seat from which to take in the view across the fields outside the garden wall. It’s listed by Historic England as Grade 2*.

A good spot for a bit of wild swimming. This section of the River Cherwell, just off the canal, is very calm and private. Great to cool off on those hot rides, or it's also just nice to sit by the banks and take a rest.
