This flat and leisurely circular walk begins in the large South Oxfordshire village of Chinnor, set beneath the dramatic backdrop of the Chiltern escarpment. Chinnor’s history stretches back centuries as a spring line settlement along the ancient Icknield Way, and today it encompasses the hamlets of Henton, Emmington, Wainhill, and Chinnor Hill.
Covering around 4.5 miles, the route offers gentle walking with wide views of the hills above and the surrounding countryside. The walk begins at the roundabout where Mill Lane meets Estover Way. From here, follow Mill Lane until you reach the Driftway track. Just beyond the Driftway housing estate on your right, take the footpath that runs alongside the estate, leading you out into open landscapes and the start of your journey.
