These great walks start right from our doorstep — from a short woodland stroll to a 4-mile circular taking in a historic viaduct and the Oxford Canal. Dogs very welcome; we even have towels for muddy pups on your return.
Dogs welcome in the pub. We supply towels to wipe down your mucky pups when you return from a walk.
Please note: dogs are not currently permitted in our rooms.
Each walk starts from The Fox Inn. Download the PDF map or GPX file, or open the route directly in OS Maps before you head out.
A great circular walk taking you out through open farmland to one of the area’s most impressive landmarks — the historic Souldern railway viaduct — before crossing the swing bridge over the Oxford Canal and looping back through the countryside to the pub. Can be a bit muddy in places, so boots are recommended.
A beautiful circular walk through the grounds and countryside around Upper Aynho, taking in wide open views across the Oxfordshire and Northamptonshire border. A peaceful route through historic parkland that makes a perfect afternoon outing from the pub.
A short, gentle stroll from the pub door to Nancy Bowles Wood — a community woodland created to give the villagers of Souldern a peaceful, natural amenity and a sanctuary for local wildlife. Perfect for a post-lunch wander with the family or four-legged friends.
Park up at The Fox, set off on your walk, then come back to a well-earned pint and a hot meal. We're open for lunch Wednesday to Sunday and dinner Wednesday to Saturday.
The Fox Inn, Fox Lane, Souldern, Bicester OX27 7JW
