Banbury and Bicester Netwalks

Caryn is our Banbury and Bicester host and has lived in the area for over 20 years.  Now her children are nearly grown up and after some time dabbling in all things botanical, she is embarking on her next venture, Wild Darling, offering immersive walks and hands-on workshops, to kindle creativity and connection. She loves visiting gardens or walking in the countryside with her Spaniel, taking in the scenery.

Banbury and Bicester are surrounded by beautiful countryside, rolling hills and stunning views. Its nearby villages, steeped in history, are little known gems too.

Evenley Walk description

Evenley, a picturesque village with an historic green, exudes quintessential charm.  Just a 20-minute drive from Banbury and Bicester, it is surrounded by flower-filled meadows and edged by an ancient woodland, a wonderfully restorative place to visit all seasons of the year. The cosy village cafe serves a delicious menu of locally sourced produce, including teas, coffees, freshly baked cakes and their famous sausage rolls. It is also host to a rotating art exhibition & pop-up shop showcasing local artists and craftspeople.

The Walk (approx 2.3 miles, easy hike, great for any fitness level)

We will begin by strolling out of the village, through a kissing gate and up a slight hill to the beautiful open fields, where we can take in the surrounding views. The walk will continue across sloping pastureland and then around the renowned woods, where we can explore the winding footpaths and natural streams. Finally, we will make our way back to the village via a country lane, before crossing the Green to the Forge cafe.

Access: Gently sloping; mainly grass and woodland, soft when wet, some roots, gaps (0.5m wide). Not suitable for wheelchairs.
