IMPORTANT CHANGES TO START LOCATION

Unfortunately "Sandy Lane Farm" don't do main meals. So we have abandoned starting and finishing there.

Have arranged a table for 6 (with option of increasing number) for 4pm at "The Fox & Goat" PH, main A418, TIDDINGTON Postcode OX92LH.

So parking has changed to outside the pub or better still Ickford Road with two side roads Brookside or North Close (both on east side of Ickford Road).

Rycote Chapel is no longer English Heritage, but privately owned by Rycote Park. The chapel is open from April to Sept 2pm-6pm. Tours (tea, main gardens, chapel £15 per head). Chapel £8 (EH, NT, HHA £4).

The walk will be circular, from "The Fox & Goat" north to Ickford Bridge, ICKFORD, LITTLE ICKFORD, SHABBINGTON. Along the River Thame raised bank path south to Rycot Park.

Option for short diversion to chapel if desired. No booking made.

Then on to ALBURY Rectory and church.

Depending on time, possible tea at SANDY LANE FARM before returning north to "The Fox & Goat" for drink and meal.

Wear boots or wellies as there might be some surface water.
