Start by boarding any Stagecoach bus toward Chipping Norton and ask the driver for a Dayrider Gold. This ticket allows unlimited travel throughout Oxfordshire on all Stagecoach buses for 24 hours. It costs a very reasonable £7 (£5 for seniors).

1205 : Leave Chipping Norton, West Street. In Hook Norton get off by the Pear Tree. As well as this pub, the Bell Inn and the Sun Inn in the centre of the village should also be open.
1323 : Leave Hook Norton by the church. Get off again in Milcombe at the West End stop for a short walk to the Horse & Groom Inn.
1435 : Leave Milcombe, West End. In Bloxham, get off near to whichever pub you want to visit first; either opposite the church for the Joiners Arms or the Red Lion, or at the bottom of Humber Street for the Elephant & Castle.
1542 : Leave Bloxham from your nearest stop. You should get to Banbury Bus Station at about 1555. The Olde Reindeer Inn, the Coach & Horses, the Banbury Cross and the Bell among others should all be open.
1805 : Catch the last 488 bus from Banbury Bus Station (Bay 7) back to Chipping Norton.
