great place to stop off

Edgehill Castle (Tower) which is now a rather nice pub/restaurant. The castle was built in the 18th Century as a 'sham' castle reputedly on the exact spot where Charles I raised his standard before the Battle of Edgehill during the first English Civil War. Apparently Cromwell got there too late for the battle.

strange 'castle', with nice views.

Enjoy views out to Bloxham Windmill, a Grade II listed building situated on Bloxham Grove Farm in Oxfordshire. The windmill was built in 1865 by Henry Warriner as a 'memorial to all windmills'.

Run through the streets of this beautiful quaint Oxfordshire village near Banbury. If you have time, stop at The Blinking Owl, a typical English country pub with a warm cosy atmosphere, for a refreshing beverage.

This beautiful park in Broughton offers serene countryside views across lush vibrant green countryside. As you run through this park you'll be treated to sights across to Broughton Castle, a magnificent medieval fortified manor house.

Originally built in 1300, Broughton Castle is a beautiful medieval fortified manor house surrounded by a wide moat and farmland. The house has witnessed centuries of interesting history: from hosting Kings to Civil War battles. During the 19th century, the house fell into decay until it was rescued by the 16th Baron Saye and Sele with the help of Victorian architect Sir George Gilbert Scott. In more modern history, you may recognise the house from its appearance in the film Shakespeare in Love or the TV series Keeping Up Appearances. Although the house is privately owned (by the same family since 1377), it is open to the public from April to September every Wednesday and Sunday from 2 - 5pm. Tickets for adults cost £10.
