From Oxford to Burbage: 83.2 miles

I have gone 40% of the way and averaging about 20 miles a day.

Sometimes I need to travel on the motorway. The drivers are very polite.

Kindlington a large village in Oxfordshire between the River Cherwell and the Oxford Canal.

Bicester is a very fast growing town in Oxfordshire. As the crow flies it is halfway between Birmingham and London. Fifty-one miles either way.

What a beautiful area.

Usually I get into a new town every 6 to 10 miles. This format allows me to relax, sight see and re-supply. This is Banbury.

Upton House and Gardens located in the county of Warwickshire are part of the National Trust.

This field is outside of Ettington.  These areas had manor which was the main residence of the land owner.  Ih the feudal system the land owner provided an area for the tenant, who would them pledge loyalty and service to the lord of the manor.  Hides were an English unit of land that was figured to be able to support a household, approximately 120 acres.  There are still about 3000 manor homes still in England.

Ettington Park Hotel was once a manor house.

Remember to be in the left lane. There is a little shoulder and no traffic. A great section to ride.

Warwick Castle. This is a place that I visited on an earlier trip, Worth the tour.

The clock tower in Kenilworth.

I like that they are planting a tree.

The trail outside Burbage. A beautiful area.
