This group is a friendly way to get to know the Oxfordshire countryside better, on its leisurely walks. We meet at Tackley Village Memorial Hall at the times given to arrange transport to the walk start. There’s no obligation to car share, but there isn’t always enough parking for each person to drive themselves to the start. Distances are approximate and all walks are at participant’s own risk.
