Chipping Norton
A drive from Stokenchurch, Tue, 21 Jan 2020 by David Howard
Another wander around the countryside beyond Oxford, there was an odd looking fingerpost in Charlbury so used it as a reason for a ramble and cover more ground I could get to easily during the winter months. I left the motorway at Stokenchurch to add more photos on the way, and a nice sunny day allowed photos till it went down at teatime.
