Raise money for your local churches and the Oxfordshire Historic Chruches Trust.
There are many ways to get involved – cycling, walking or horse-riding being the most popular but others have combined their involvement with sight-seeing whilst on holiday or driving vintage tractors!

Taken from the Diocesan e-news:
“Are you looking for some time out? This is the perfect time of the year to try a Pilgrim Path. The Revd Sally Welch, with the help of a team in Chipping Norton Deanery, has created a whole series of Pilgrim Paths, together with some great resources to help you reflect and pray as you make your spiritual journey through some beautiful places. There is a Pilgrim Path based on the Beatitudes, and one on Sensing Creation… May the road rise to meet you, and the wind be always at your back!” Judy French, Archdeacon of Dorchester
The ten circular walks on the website can be downloaded and printed out or download onto a phone or tablet to take on the walks. There are also details of the guided walks and links to other relevant websites.
