Beckley & Area Community Benefit society Limited (BACBS)

Welcome to Beckley

BACBS have prepared an information booklet hopefully of use to people moving into the area. The first is centred on Beckley but versions for surrounding villages will follow. The booklet is available on the Beckley Village website.

 Walking routes around Beckley and the local area

We have designed a number of local walks around Beckley and the surrounding area, mostly short-ish (half to one hour) and leaving from The Abingdon Arms.

All these walks are accessible for dogs on leads, except for one track on the RSPB Otmoor reserve past the viewing hide, as marked on the Otmoor Nature Reserve map (map 6). Please note there are cattle with calves in some fields in the area.

Our routes can be best followed in conjunction with the small, folding Around & About map we commissioned, which are on sale at The Abingdon Arms and available from the Stanton St John and Islip village shops, price £4.50. The suggested walk routes are also shown on a map display board outside The Abingdon Arms.

To find your walk, refer to the overview map then find the details in the individual walks below. You can click on the individual maps to see enlarged versions. You can download the notes for each walk by clicking on the button below the walk. If you have a smartphone and walking app, a Garmin or similar device, you can download the GPX track data file. All of the walks are circular so, of course, you can follow the route in either direction and start/finish at any point. You can also combine parts of different routes, if you want.

Enjoy!
