Around the Claydons

Walk directions

Walk along Church Way, past the Winslow road, to the village centre and keep right at the next junction, following Sandhill Road. Pass a row of houses, set back from the road on the right, and swing left just before a brick-and-timber cottage to pass through a kissing gate beside a galvanised gate. Go straight ahead towards a wooden gate and waymarker. Go through it and continue ahead in the field, with the boundary on your right. Make for a gate in the corner and cross the next large field, straight ahead through the middle of it, making for a clump of trees. Veer to the right of the trees and continue ahead with the hedgerow on the left. Turn left onto the road, with Home Farm directly opposite and a cemetery to your left.

Follow the road for 600yds (549m), passing the entrance to Home Farm on the right and a footpath on the left. Go round two bends, then turn left and follow the drive to Claydon House. Nearing the house, bear right at a waymarker post, go right through a gate right by the house, then turn left alongside the house and its ha-ha. Keep the house and the church on your left and continue, with its lakes and parkland over to your right. Cut straight ahead through the park to reach a gate, merge with the drive to Claydon House and follow it out to the road.

Only one third of the house remains, and on seeing it for the first time you may be struck...
