HOMEBUILDER SHARES ITS TOP WALKING LOCATIONS IN OXFORDSHIRE

Following on from National Walking Month (May), Barratt and David Wilson Homes has provided a list of scenic walks near its developments in Abingdon, to inspire local people to continue enjoying local walks and what the outdoors has to offer.

The developer has highlighted its top walks in the area for local residents, ramblers and those new to the area to explore the beauty that surrounds them.

Barratt and David Wilson Homes’ Abbey Fields and Kings Gate developments – which are respectively located off Baileys Crescent and Morgan Gate – are ideally positioned for both short and long walks in a variety of environments, ranging from a casual stroll through the historic town of Abingdon, to an extended walk around one of its many surrounding green open spaces.

As part of its aim to help locals extend their walking efforts now that May has ended, Barratt and David Wilson Homes has highlighted some of the top beauty spots to explore this summer:

Millets Farm Centre

For families looking to stretch their legs at the weekend, Millets Farm Centre is the perfect place to get those steps in, all while enjoying a great day out.

Located just a short drive away from both Abbey Fields and Kings Gate, the farm centre offers a huge range of activities for families to enjoy including crazy golf, fishing, and several play areas.

Positioned next to the farm centre is Phoebe Woods Nature Trail, which is a ten-acre site compromising of woodland and wetland walks along the banks of the River Ock.

With clearly marked footpaths and picnic facilities dotted throughout the land, this large expanse of green space is ideal for weekend walks.

The Thames Path: Abingdon to Oxford

One of the most popular walking routes passing through Abingdon is The Thames Path, which is a major National Trail that follows England’s best known river for over 185 miles from the Cotswolds into the heart of London.
Due to its extreme length, many walkers like to complete the walk in bite size chunks.

The stretch which runs through Abingdon offers a stunning waterside walk which can be completed within a few hours, and the path can be joined at Rye Farm, which is located less than three miles from both of Barratt and David Wilson Homes’ Abingdon developments and can be enjoyed all year round.

Radley Lakes

For those looking to enjoy a peaceful stroll without having to travel too far from their doorstep, Radley Lakes offers the perfect escape from the hustle and bustle of Abingdon town centre.

Located around two miles from both Abbey Fields and Kings Gate, the area is tranquil in nature and rich in wildlife, making it a great route for walkers of any kind.

As with most waterside walks, the area is at its most stunning at sunset, providing the ideal place to enjoy a picnic in the evening this summer.

Barratt Homes’ Abbey Fields development currently has a selection of two, three and four bedroom homes available to buy, with prices starting at £375,000.

David Wilson Homes’ Abbey Fields and Kings Gate developments also have a variety of three, four and five bedroom homes for sale from £437,500.
