The Oxfordshire Way - Grade B

This footpath, until recently, was quite unknown and little used. It is now however, becoming more well trodden as it circles through some of the most quaint Oxfordshire villages.

This 65 mile route starts at Bourton-on-the-Water, progressing along the northern edge of Oxfordshire, before dropping down the eastern side, over The Chiltern Hills and south to Henley-on-Thames.

The distance covered each day will be approximately 12 miles.

Included in the price is your transport to the start every day and pick up at the finish, together with your walk leader for the 5 days.

The Ridgeway - Grade B

Distance – 87 miles
Approximately 13 miles per day over 7 days
Start – Overton Hill
Finish – Ivinghoe Beacon

The Ridgeway National Trail crosses some of Britain’s finest chalk downland landscapes. Its use goes back long before written records, stretching back, not just centuries but millennia. It stays with the high, dry ground of the downs. The open character of the land and the wide views, enjoyed from the escarpment edge are certainly major attractions. A very dramatic route indeed.

Your price includes pick up each day and return at the end of the walk and you guide for the 7 days.

The Cotswold Way - Grade B

Distance – 102 miles
Approximately 10 miles per day over 10 days
Start – Chipping Campden

The Cotswold Way takes the walker on a journey through a typical English landscape. We go from the bleakness of its highest sections, through gentle rolling farmland and into beautiful beech woodlands, with carpets of bluebells and wood anemone. We will have views over the Severn Vale, The Malvern Hills, The Forest of Dean and The Black Mountains.

The Cotswold Way is steeped in history, passing Neolithic burial chambers, ancient hill forts, bronze age round barrows, Roman Villas, historic houses, churches and abbeys. This National Trail contains a bit of everything for everyone, and is a stunning trip through the history of this great Country.

“Having a good guide who loves his work and great travelling companions definitely made the trip much more enjoyable”

I had an amazing time with Steve and Jane when we visited Dorchester yesterday. It was my first time going on a walking
expedition, and I must say that Steve did a fantastic job! He did his best to help us enjoy our walk. Before the journey, Steve
checked the weather and recommended a change of itinerary due to the cold wind in the afternoon. And during the walk, he
repeated checked on us to ensure that we were alright. The trail we took had lots of interesting things to see and the pace was
comfortable.
Coming from Singapore, I learnt quite a bit about things not experienced in my city - history, culture, wildlife, agriculture and
landscape. Having a good guide who loves his work and great travelling companions definitely made the trip much more enjoyable!
I would recommend SPR Expeditions to anyone who loves to explore nature and would like to do it safely. I'd like to do them again
myself when I'm back in Oxford!
