Getting to The Mill

Wherever possible we recommend using public transport to get to IWD Banbury. The Mill is conveniently located next door to the main Banbury bus station, and a very short walk from the town centre stops. Banbury train station is a five-minute walk away, via the Oxford Canal pathway or through the Bridge Street entrance to Spiceball Park.

Banbury Town Council provide secure railings for cyclists on the canal front.
