Hubs

Some places lend themselves to being hubs, where you may pitch up for a few days’ car-free walking, fanning out on a different route (or part of a route) each day. The hub becomes a walking-place for recreation at walking pace. Hubs in this area include

• Banbury
  Banbury is a good hub for the north of the area: it also serves as a hub for adjacent parts of neighbouring regions.
• High Wycombe
  High Wycombe is a useful hub for the north-east of the area, and for parts of West London.
• Oxford
  Oxford is the pre-eminent hub for the area.
