Route description

This very pretty walk in the Evenlode valley goes from Stonesfield along the Akeman Street, a Roman road, and returns via the Roman Villa at North Leigh, passing through Blenheim Park on the way.

There are a few ups and downs, but we’ll walk at a leisurely pace, so don’t be put off.

We’ll stop at the villa, where you can see a mosaic tile floor. Bring refreshments for a mid-morning stop and a picnic lunch.
