🌿 Minster Lovell & Crawley Circular – Riverside Walk Ending in the Village

🌿 Minster Lovell & Crawley Circular – Riverside Walk Ending in the Village
Join us for a peaceful and scenic circular walk through the Oxfordshire countryside, starting from the beautiful village of Minster Lovell.
This route begins by heading out towards the riverside, following the tranquil banks of the River Windrush. Early in the walk, we’ll pass the atmospheric ruins of Minster Lovell Hall — a perfect spot for a quick pause and photos.
We’ll then continue across open countryside and farmland towards Crawley, before looping back via peaceful tracks and fields, finishing back in Minster Lovell.
We’ll stop about two-thirds of the way at The Lamb Inn for a relaxed break.
