Summary
The Evenlode Way is a path designed to roughly follow the River Evenlode downstream from its source to where it flows into the River Thames at Cassington near Oxford. The river rises in the heart of the Cotswolds and flows for thirty miles or so towards its confluence with the Thames just above Oxford. From the beginning of the walk in Bourton-on-the-Hill, the route heads to the finish in Cassington via Sezincote, Longborough, Moreton-in-Marsh, Evenlode, Chastleton, Adlestrop, Daylesford, Kingham, Lyneham, Shipton-under-Wychwood, Ascott-under-Wychwood, Charlbury, Finstock, Stonesfield, and Long Hanborough. The Evenlode Way shares sections of the path with the well-known Diamond Way and Oxfordshire Way paths.
