Evenley Walk descriptionEvenley, a picturesque village with an historic green, exudes quintessential charm. Just a 20-minute drive from Banbury and Bicester, it is surrounded by flower-filled meadows and edged by an ancient woodland,
a wonderfully
restorative place to visit all seasons of the year. The cosy village cafe serves a delicious menu of locally sourced produce, including teas, coffees, freshly baked cakes and their famous sausage rolls.
It is also host to a rotating art exhibition & pop-up shop showcasing local artists and craftspeople. https://www.forgecoffee.co.uk/evenley

We will begin by strolling out of the village, through a kissing gate and up a slight hill to the beautiful open fields, where we can take in the surrounding views. The walk will continue across sloping pastureland and then around the renowned woods, where we can explore the winding footpaths and natural streams. Finally, we will make our way back to the village via a country lane, before crossing the Green to the Forge cafe.
Access: Gently sloping; mainly grass and woodland, soft when wet, some roots, gaps (0.5m wide). Not suitable for wheelchairs.

“This is a fantastic group of women in business who help and support each other to thrive and bloom. We meet regularly for great walks in nature during which we exchange ideas and get inspired from each other! Highly recommended to take part of their meetings 💚”
Martina Mula
I've come along to about 6 Netwalking walks now, on a monthly basis, and I'm hooked! Andrea and Karen are superb hosts making one feel very welcome and included. It's great to meet like minded people, some new, some returning and we always have such interesting chats about our lives and businesses, and we get to talk though our self employment wins and worries to fellow small business owners in similar situations. I love the social side of it and the walk through nature is the icing on the cake!
Abigail Bury - Textile Designer
I have been Netwalking with the Creative Wellbeing Circle for about a year now and it has been brilliant. As a jeweller my working day is most often spent by myself, and so it is a joy to spend time outside and going for a beautiful walk with other self-employed ladies, talking about our businesses, discussing our experiences and supporting each other. Every time I take part, I come away feeling that I have learned something, made new useful and interesting connections, and I feel more positive and relaxed about my way ahead. Each session is very well thought out, they take place at beautiful and inspiring venues, and Karen and Andrea are the most excellent hosts. Careful thought has been given to the parking, the terrain and the weather, and in fact everything that needs to be thought about!Being outside and in the fresh air and walking and talking is the best way to network and these are the best people to go for a netwalk with! I always really look forward to it and I would thoroughly recommend that you give it a go.

"Thank you so much for this morning. I really enjoyed the walk. It was lovely to meet and talk with some of you, and to enjoy scenery and the kite that flew above! Looking forward to doing this again.
