Best walks from Hanborough
Oxfordshire · South East England | Walks by train
MapSet out on beautiful walks directly from Hanborough Station.
Hanborough Station Circular via Blenheim Palace
13km. Moderate ascents. 3h30–6h.
Beginner-friendly: A gigantic well-signposted park. It’s completely fine to deviate from the route — explore as you like! Plenty of options for lunch — no need to reserve a table.
An essential walk! It's an easy walk from the station to the beautiful, vast (and free) grounds of the finest example of English baroque architecture. For a somewhat extortionate fee you can also visit the house, but you'd probably want a whole day for that.
Highlights: Blenheim Palace and Woodstock.
Lunch stops in Woodstock (1h30–2h30 in): the Crown, the Back Lane Tavern, or the Star Inn.
End-of-walk reward: the George and Dragon.
Hanborough Station to Charlbury Station
22km. 6h.
Rolling Oxfordshire farmland, landscaped parkland, lakeside paths, open fields, ancient hedgerows, Roman road, Cotswold stone villages, and deer park. Can be muddy.
