Route Description for Chipping Norton and Glyme Valley Walk

The Chipping Norton and Glyme Valley Walk is a family-friendly hike through the Oxfordshire countryside. Begin your walk from the charming market town of Chipping Norton and then begin your exploration of the famous Cotswolds rolling hills. You’ll enjoy the beautiful views of the surrounding farms and peaceful meadows. After your walk, you’ll want to spend some time enjoying the picturesque village or visit the nearby Rollright standing stones.

The path has some paved tracks but is mostly field paths and can be muddy.
