Banbury & Bloxham
Also a couple of slight hills but nothing too much. The Salt Way is not the most exciting start to the walk, especially as, at the time of writing, new houses were being built along pretty much the whole path length on the left hand side - that's progress?!
Broughton Castle and grounds are lovely. There is a lack of footpath signs across the fields at the farm, just past the B4035 after the five mile point to be careful of. I have deliberately taken you past the Elephant & Castle pub in Bloxham as it's a lovely old pub with with a saloon or lounge bar so plenty of space and they were doing food when I wandered in on Saturday afternoon (I did try to get most of the mud off my boots, honest!)
The highlights have to be the lovely streams you go past at various points and the Oxford canal - which I think would be a great part of the walk during the summer! I have tried to keep the route off the roads as much as possible, but there are some lovely villages you go through so it's sort of worth it!
About the Calorie Calculator
Our Calorie Calculator estimates how many Calories you will burn using Metabolic Equivalent (MET) values from Compendium of Physical Activities. The Compendium idenitifes the relative energy cost of undertaking various activities compared with doing nothing. We then combine this with your weight and the estimated duration of the activity, taking into account the length of the route and the hills involved, to estimate the total Calories burned.
When selecting an Activity setting, select the speed you would normally travel at on flat ground.
Please remember, the estimated number of Calories is just a guide and the actual number of Calories burned may vary depending on other factors such as weather and terrain.
