Oxford Green Belt Way

The Oxford Green Belt Way was devised in 2007 to mark CPRE’s 75th anniversary and to highlight the importance of the Green Belt. Following a circular route of 50 miles (80 km) through the Oxford Green Belt, each mile on the route marks one year since the designation of the greenbelts in 1956.

Divided into nine easy stages, the route offers amazing views of Oxford’s ‘dreaming spires’ and passes through historic villages and stunning countryside such as Foxcombe Hill, Otmoor and Wytham Woods, and alongside breathtaking stretches of the River Thames near Abingdon and the Oxford Canal north of Oxford.

Collaborators on the project are the Oxfordshire Field Paths Society and Oxfordshire County Council’s Countryside Service.
