Parking: There is parking at Exeter Hall but as only first 90 minutes is free and the 3 hours given for the walk, walkers would need to pay £5. Free parking is available at Exeter hall play area - accessible only from end of Crown Road.

The walk, run by Canal & River Trust, will be led by volunteer walk leaders who are full of interesting information about the local area.

A serene and peaceful waterway (with a fascinating history) running the whole length of Kidlington’s western boundary. Offering a tranquil and easy path on which to contemplate and enjoy the beauty of nature.

Well behaved dogs on leads are very welcome.

The great thing about walking is that you do not need any fancy equipment. Please just wear comfortable shoes and bring a jacket if raining. However with all the fallen leaves the tow path (even if it is not raining) it can be muddy/slippy so stout shoes are really required (stronger than recommended).

Why not join a walk led by a Canal and River Trust volunteer along our local stretch and find out more?
