(S/E) From the entrance to The Swan Inn, turn left for a few steps, cross the road and go over a stone slab stile to the left of the house opposite. Cross the field to another stone stile next to a gate and follow the wall beyond, before heading across the field to a wooden stile left of a large tree.
(1) Keep towards the right-hand side in the next field, to emerge on the road by the bridge over the river. Turn right and walk into Asthall village, ignoring the left-hand turn to Asthall Farm.
(2) Turn right in the village and walk past the Maytime Inn to the parish church. Follow the road round to the left. At a T-junction, turn left down an avenue of trees.
At the next junction, turn right onto a farm track. Go through a couple of farm gates then, when the track bends right around a copse, take an unsurfaced track straight ahead. Skirt another copse on your left then walk up the field edge to the A40.
(3) Cross the road carefully into Burford Road and go through the gateway on the right. Turn left along the field edge. At a stile on the left, just before the path rejoins the road, turn right and walk across the field to another stile.
(4) Walk through a series of horse paddocks beyond, separated by gates. Beyond the buildings, enter a triangular field and walk along the left-hand fence to a stile into a hedged track next to a sand quarry. Turn right and walk out to the A40. Cross over and go through a metal field gate; cross four fields separated by gates to descend to Mill Farm.
(5) Walk out to the road and cross over, passing the mill and crossing the Windrush. Shortly afterwards, turn right and follow the track across the field to Widford Church. Go through a gate next to a cattle grid and follow the footpath to the left of an isolated cottage.
(6) Follow the path beyond through fields, with the River Windrush down to your right, to join a walled path that emerges in Swinbrook village below the parish church. Turn right and walk back through
the village to The Swan Inn. (S/E)
