The walk, run by Canal & River Trust, will be led by volunteer walk leaders who are full of interesting information about the local area.
Please join us for a fun leisurely walk along the canal. You'll learn a lot and meet new people!
Come and join us in Banbury Old Town and along the Oxford Canal to hear about ghostly goings on from mediaeval times right up to the present day.
The pace will be leisurely, with several pauses to hear the tales. The route is suitable for wheelchairs / pushchairs. Well behaved dogs are welcome (on a lead).
Start from Whately Hall Hotel, Horsefair, Banbury and end at Ye Olde Reindeer Inn, Parsons Street where there is opportunity to purchase refreshments.
Most Car Parks are FREE after 6pm and the walk is easy to reach from bus or train stations.
Toilets available at end of the route.
The great thing about walking is that you do not need any fancy equipment. Please just wear comfortable shoes and bring a jacket if raining. However with all the fallen leaves the tow path (even if it is not raining) it can be muddy/slippy so stout shoes are really required (stronger than recommended).
