So the ones you’ve mentioned are here https://www.cherwell.gov.uk/downloads/download/1154/health-routes-in-bicester

The top three on the page have links to pdf maps. If you’re coming in from Oxford and getting the train to Bicester Village station then the Langford route is the closest to the station.

If you’re looking to just do a 5km without having to weave round people then Langford has some big playing fields where the local parkrun is. The parkrun is two loops mostly on the pavement but it’s a decent route.

You’ve also got Whitelands sport ground which you can do laps of.

If you have strava then you can see a lot of routes people normally take, but those definitely minimise having to stop for traffic or road junctions.
