[1] With back to White Horse pub turn right and walk through village to join the bridleway on the right past Lower Farm. Follow track uphill, passing over a bridleway. By a cottage turn left and then immediately right on to a footpath. The path rises steeply uphill. At the top, at path crossroads, turn left onto bridleway.

[2] Walk along this track to reach the Charlbury Road in Fawler. Turn left here and walk along the road to Corner Cottage in the direction of Finstock. Turn right by Corner Cottage, walk past cottages to a gate leading to the River Evenlode. Go under the railway then over the river and follow woodland path beside river to a field. Go up field to a gate on to a crossing path. Turn right and continue to a road leading to the Plough Inn.

[3] Just past the inn, take the footpath to the left in the opposite direction to the village hall and Charlbury. Stay on footpath, initially by a left hand hedge and then across the centre of the field (can be very muddy if recently ploughed). Go left at end of second field. Pass some dilapidated farm buildings and turn right through copse. Once at the lane, pay a visit to St Peter’s Church on the left, if time allows. It is a small building dating from the 12th century but extensively renovated in the Victorian period. Retrace your steps back to where you turned left for the chapel and continue on footpath across the road, heading south.

[4] Keeping pond on the left, walk past the buildings at Wilcote; a wide path continues here between two fields descending through a wooded avenue to the remains of the Lady’s Well. In days gone by, children would visit this well on Palm Sunday with bottles containing liquorice. They would fill the bottles with well water to make a drink called ‘Spanish Juice’. Cross stile then head left towards farm. Continue on track past outbuildings and down wooded avenue to reach a lane.

[5] Turn right onto lane and head to a junction. Turn left and then immediately right. Head through the gates and follow field boundary. At woods, go right on lane briefly before heading left uphill. When footpath splits, continue straight on to lane. Turn left at the lane and follow signs to the Roman villa. The villa houses one of the best surviving examples of a hypocaust, a Roman form of underfloor heating. It remains an idyllic spot to this day. From the villa, turn left and then right and follow path over railway and crossing path back to Stonesfield village. Once at the village, follow the High Street around to the Methodist Church. From here, continue right up Boot Street and continue north back to the White Horse pub.
