Three very different walks that start from Charlbury's old town centre.
Route 1 takes in the only Public Right of Way through the ancient Wychwood Forest within Cornbury Park.
Route 2 runs to the north-west of Charlbury, following the pretty Evenlode valley and uses a section of the Oxfordshire Way.
Route 3, to the north-east of Charlbury, has no stiles to cross and uses mainly bridleway tracks coming back into town via the footpath through the Centenary Community Woodland.
The railway station at Charlbury, built by Isambard Kingdom Brunel, is now a listed building.
