Latest Updates
I walked from Shipton-under-Wychwood to Witney in August 2024. The weather had been dry for quite a while, so I didn't experience the muddy sections mentioned by the previous reviewer - though I recognise the sections mentioned and yes, they'll be very muddy.....
Martin McGovern
I agree with the previous viewer - mostly fine, but - the section on Riding Lane is on-road, with twists and turns, and no verges....
Martin McGovern
Its an interesting route but not suitable for pushchairs/buggies or wheelchairs as very muddy and a gate and stile nearer to Shipton. 307189 to 308181 busy-ish Road but wide verge. 324163 to 323155 narrow road with no verge nearer to Leafield....
CazMac
Walked this route from Chipping Norton to Shipton under Wychwood in March 2024 after a very wet winter. 294219 suggest not using the bridleway and footpath via Merriscourt Farm in wet/muddy conditions...
CazMac
Mostly a good walk but the road between Leafield and Crawley is fast with short sightlines and little to no verge. Have submitted ShiWit2 and will review that March 2024....

CazMac added Shiwit two, a new walk from Shipton under Wychwood to Witney
Walk this routeThe short section that's on paths just to the north of Swinbrook isn't wheel-friendly, but the diversion via the road isn't a lot longer, and the roads are similarly quiet....
Martin McGovern
As other reviewers have noted, this route is mostly off road, and the roads that it does follow are pretty quiet....
Martin McGovern
I walk parts of this route weekly and it offers wonderful views across the Evenlode valley. Note that some parts can be muddy....
hatmandu
As currently mapped the stretch from Shipton to Ascott includes a very rural level crossing - take care! This section also gets extremely muddy in winter. The walk from Ascott to Charlbury via Chilton and Shorthampton is a joy without even a stile in sight....
