After moving to Oxford I wanted to try some of the many byways available in the area. The ones around Didcot and West Ilsley turned out to be either quite dry and rutty, but in some places are very wet and dirty, the way I like it. There are still many more to explore, and will add pictures of those on this page in the future.

Please consult your council and up to date maps on the legality of any of the mentioned byways, as the laws might have changed since my last visit. I accept no responsibility for anything that happens to you at these locations.
The East Hagbourne Byways
Mainly flat, they are easy to ride, but become rutted in certain areas. Rainfall creates little puddles, which are fun to splash through, and mud in certain areas adds to the challenge and exitement. Little forests round off the scenery.
