  1. Step 1: This walk was created in partnership with Cherwell District Council. Enjoy over 30 walks across North Oxfordshire and experience the sights and sounds of nature as you go.

  2. Step 2: Welcome to the north east Banbury Linear Walk which begins on Warwick Road, at the overpass over the Mineral Railway Path, just before Highlands (OX16 1XP).
