A 7.9 mile circular walk that follows the Ridgeway for part of it's length and reaches Barbury Castle, an Iron age hill fort, which was first occupied about 2,500 years ago and, in good weather, has views across the Cotswolds some distance away.

We started the walk from Ogbourne St-George and walked anti-clockwise, stopping for a bite to eat at Banbury Castle.

The Ridgeway can get busy on nice summer days but the routes off it are quieter.

Osbourne St George is a quiet village on the river Og with the 17th century Inn with the Well (formerly the Old Crown Inn) for refreshments.
