Walking along the Oxford Canal
A long-distance path, the 77-mile Oxford Canal Walk, follows the waterway from Oxford to Hawkesbury. The gentle engineering of the canal, with few lock flights, means that the walking is always easy.
There are several circular walks at points along the canal, featuring views of the natural countryside, interesting architecture and all the wildlife along the way.
