New Day - New Idea








                               Ruins of Lovell Hall at Little Minster






Hi  there guys! This is a new day and a new idea as a blog. i intend to walk regularly around my home area of West Oxfordshire which is one of the loveliest parts of the UK with truly outstanding places of natural beauty and some of the most stereotypical sleepy villages that you can find in the UK. There may be many foreigners reading this - maybe Americans or Asians or Hispanics. The fact of the matter is that many people from these countries settle for a visit to London and that's about it. I'm sure some of you have visited Blenheim Palace which is only about 15 miles from my home town of Witney and many more, Oxford, which is probably the second destination for others, but very few venture outside the these well worn paths which is a real shame as there are some beautiful places so close to you, if you were only better informed and/or a little more adventurous. Anyhow, I see it as my job to let you in on our little secret.

I'm also aware that there are many locals who never have time to get out and enjoy what we have here, so I hope to be of use to you too.

My aims are to show some of the more unusual walks as I try doing them myself and  to rate them and give information such and point out places of interest and even  pubs and the like

I'm acutely aware that my writing is rusty but well, this is a blog and not a poetry competition and anyway, things will improve.

Lets get this up and published just to see what the darned things looks like
