3.5miles approx. 2.5hrs over paved and gravel paths plus canal towpath.

Free parking (4hrs max) in Banbury Gateway Retail park OX16 3ER - meet in shelters outside Marks & Spencer.

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

Please join us for a fun leisurely walk along the canal. You'll learn a lot and meet new people!

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).

The walk is not suitable for buggies or wheelchairs.

Well-behaved dogs are welcome to join the walk, but must be kept on the lead at all times.
