"This curvy stretch of babbling water is so pretty Lewis Carroll apparently drew inspiration from it for Alice's Adventures in Wonderland. You'll float past little beaches and grassy meadows filled with cattle. Just watch out for boats."

Good place to chill on a sunny day. The meadow is vast, and sometimes you will see people picnicking, swimming, and walking their dogs here. The meadow is also far from the city lights, making it an ideal ground for stargazing at night. On better days, you will see horses and cattle roaming the meadow, and most of them let you go up close. Be careful not to scare or disturb the animals though.

A lovely place to walk along the river /canal , amongst the trees , sometimes sitting to watch the barges go past or the paddle boarders and little boats. Then over the bridge to Port Meadow. On this particular day , the sun was out ..swimmers and sun bathers . Then you can walk to Jericho. .I love this walk.

On a hot summer’s day, nothing beats a swim in an English river. This spot is a favourite of mine as it’s easily accessible by public transport. Once you’ve got to the train station, find Abbey Road and walk to the end of it. On your left is a bridge. Walk over the bridge then follow the path, with the river on your left hand side, until you get to two bridges that are at right angles to each other. Cross both bridges, and you’ll find there’s an easy access spot by a tree, where the water is fairly shallow. There was very little current when I went in early May 2024, so I could swim comfortably in the water within the perimeter of the bridges.

Port Meadow is a fantastic place to walk and cycle. It spans quite wide, from Botley Road all the way to Wolvercote (for me, it's about 4 miles on bike. Highly recommended for walks, but in winter, it gets limited where you can walk due to floods, but still, there are very nice pictures to take during those times.

Fantastic nature reserve with canal boats, cows, horses, and a fab little stop-off called the medley! Bathrooms available at the medley, as well as just before the south entry in Jericho.

It’s an amazing place to visit in summers, especially if you have love for horse. It also has some fun daytime activities and it is a good camping area or if you love picnic highly recommended.

One of my favourite spots in Oxford. Great walks and growing up on a farm as I did in Ireland it’s wonderful to watch cattle happily grazing in the meadow
