Garsington
Walk down the road towards the village of Garsington. Veer half left at The Hill, leading to Sadlers Croft. Keep right and climb the bank to some bollards by the war memorial. Cross over to The Green, keeping the Manor Bar on the left and the historic cross on the right.
Continue along the road to St Mary’s Church and pass the Manor House. Keep on the road and, just as it descends quite steeply, branch left at a sign for Denton. Cross a stile and strike out across the field. Ahead on the horizon is the hilltop church at Cuddesdon, with a curtain of trees behind it. Make for a gap in the boundary and continue in the next field. Look for a waymark in a wide gap in the next boundary and aim to the right of a copse. Pass through the gap in the field corner, avoid the path on the left and head straight on across the field to the far corner. Cross two stiles to reach the road.
Turn right and pass alongside a stone wall on the left. Walk along to the right-hand bend and bear left at the sign ‘Brookside only’. Imposing Denton House is on the left and a striking stableyard can be seen on the right. Pass a stile and footpath on the right and keep along the lane for a few paces, turning left at a public footpath.
Head for a stile and pass an ornamental wall enclosing Denton House. Cross a paddock to the next stile and then go diagonally right across the field to a stile. Then head diagonally left in the next field, keeping a farm over to the right. Cross a stile and a plank bridge and begin approaching the houses of Garsington. Make for a stile in the right-hand corner of the field, keeping the boundary on your right in the next pasture. Climb gently and look for a stile on the right. Cross it, turn left and make for two stiles in the field corner. Join a drive and follow it up to the road.
Turn left towards Garsington, pass the houses of North Manor Estate and the village primary school before turning right, opposite Denton Lane, to join a footpath. Follow it to a lane, keep left and make for the road. Turn right and return to the parking area near Fox Close.
