About this Event
🥾 ABOUT THE WALK 🥾
Discover the serene beauty of Swift Valley Nature Reserve and uncover the hidden history of the Brownsover Arm, a disused section of the original Oxford Canal built in the late 18th century. This abandoned stretch offers a glimpse into the past, having been bypassed during the canal's straightening in the 1830s.
The route continues towards Cosford, a fascinating shrunken medieval village, before passing near the village farm and a shooting ground. We then make our way back through peaceful fields to rejoin the canal. Our journey concludes with a scenic loop near the Harvester Bell & Barge Pub, leading us back to the starting point.
