Step 3: The Hempton Loop begins in Deddington’s old Market Place which has a great choice of pubs, cafés and food stores.
Step 4: The Market Place is the original nucleus of Deddington and the lively scene of many a market and fair from medieval times onwards. There is a farmers’ market on the fourth Saturday of each month to this day.
Step 5: Dominating the sky line is the 17th century tower of St Peter and St Paul, the Parish Church which dates back to the 13th century.
Step 6: North of the Church you can find the imposing Castle House which retains traces of its 13th century origins. It was here that Edward II’s infamous favourite Piers Galveston stayed prior to his execution in June 1312.
