The Oxfordshire village of Combe is wonderfully located for some fantastic walks. Nestled in the Evenlode Valley, there are tranquil riverside and woodland trails to the south and west of the village. To the east are the magnificent grounds of Blenheim Park, with its large lakes and superb oak woodland. In the village, the Cock Inn serves good pub grub at reasonable prices and there are a few guesthouses to choose from. St Laurence Church is a Grade II-listed building and dates from the 12th century.

When a road is this long and straight, it can only be Roman. This is Akeman Street, an ancient Roman road that today acts as the parish boundary between Combe and Stonesfield. It runs for 73 miles (117 km) from near St Albans in the east to Cirencester in the west.

The lovely Oxfordshire village of Stonesfield sits on the crest of an escarpment and makes for a lovely place to stop after a long walk. It is known for Stonefield slate, a type of Cotswold stone used on roof tiles throughout the region. Mining here also lead to the discovery of a hoard of Middle Jurassic vertebrate fossils. In fact, the first fossilised remains identified as a dinosaur, Megalosaurus, were discovered here in the early 19th century.

Sheer's Copse is an old forest half way between Charlbury and Woodstock. The forest is home to a big variety of wildlife.
