Ipsden, Oxfordshire

Posted by silver mapper on 5 October 2017 in English.

Walked the northern half of Ipsden today on the latest stage of my parish-by-parish walks in the Oxfordshire Chilterns. It was magnificent, with a mixture of woodland and superb open views on a gloriously sunny October day. It surpassed anything I had walked to date. We are blessed in this part of Oxfordshire with the sheer number of Public Rights of Way that give us an endless choice of walks. It caused me to think as I roamed: I remember the road atlases that displayed a green ribbon alongside roads considered to be scenic. I imagined such a feature in OpenStreetMap, seeing the views along the various paths today. I have to satisfy myself with viewpoints, perhaps. I express my gratitude to the Chiltern Society for the work its officers, path representatives and maintenance teams do in helping to provide such a beautiful environment. I offer my thanks, too, to Woodhouse Farm for making available a permissive footpath and bridleways that so enhanced my walk today. I invite anyone who can access this area to do so. You will not be disappointed.
