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.

A beautiful church with a fascinating history "Church History There has been a church on this site since before the Norman Conquest, but the building today is a blend of different periods of construction. The south doorway is Norman, and possibly the pillars in the nave. Much is 13th and 14th Century, with mediaeval wall paintings and decoration visible. There are stone effigies of a knight from ca 1320 and magnificent brasses to John Wilcotes and his wife, from 1410. There is a monument to the second Lord Falkland, who was killed at the Battle of Newbury, and a fine marble statue by Chantrey of Mary Anne Boulton. The church has many associations with the Boulton family, best known for the Soho Manufactury in Birmingham and partnership with James Watt on the steam engine. The church sits back from the road through a fine stone gateway, thought to be from the old manor house, and is surrounded by an atmospheric and peaceful churchyard."

Often described as one of the prettiest villages in the UK, Great Tew is the perfect place to wander around and enjoy some quintessential Cotswolds scenery. Make sure to check out the gorgeous 16th-century pub, Falkland Arms, whilst you're here.

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*.

Great stop for coffee/food

Path through fields - the landscape changes through the seasons which is nice. Sometimes you'll be riding through a ploughed field, others wheat will be brushing your handlebars and knees.
