Islip Village Walk including the grave of pioneering Victorian geologist William Buckland

Islip village has a long and interesting history and is thought to be the birthplace of Edward the Confessor. It lies at the confluence of the Rivers Cherwell and Ray. The village is mainly built from local stone and historically there were quarries close to the centre. As we walk around the village we will see many examples of local stone work, the remains of some archaeological sites and we will end at the church where William Buckland is buried.

The walk will all be on footpaths although the river bank may be muddy if there has been a lot of rain. The total distance is approximately 2 miles.
