Sadly not peace and tranquility

A detour to Aston Rowant to see Red Kites seemed a good idea, en route to a show in Oxford. You cannot take anything away from the views and walks but it's surprisingly poorly signposted and when you arrive at the end of the road,...More

Scenic reserve and great views but the traffic noise is constant

Varied countryside with many options for walks and hilly so good for a bit of a workout! A good place to see red kites soaring overhead as well. Unfortunately you can't escape the noise from the nearby M40 which is pretty constant. In fact the...More

When ever I drive along the M40 I always say I must stop one day to get closer to the Red Kites, this week I did just that, and was so glad I did. The scenery was beautiful and the Red Kites are one of...More

Great scenery and at times challenging

We drove past this on Saturday night, today being monday and decided to investigate further. Parking in the forestry commission car park opposite one of the walks we went for a stroll around there first, all the walks are clearly sign posted for those that...More

Pleasant walk just off junction 5 M40.

The Aston Rowant National Nature Reserve is divided by the M40. I recently explored the "North" side, spending a couple of relaxing hours on autumn day. I picked up a free leaflet and started down the Sunken Way before walking up the hill adjacent to...More

Excellent, well sign-posted walk

Good walk for all ages, wild flower meadow en route, great views and good pub for a lunchtime stop. Took about two and a half hours, with the odd rest to take in the view.
