5 Historic Walking Areas in Oxford That You Shouldn't Miss
In the "city of dreaming spires," academia takes center stage. Gaze out at Oxford's world-famous university from the top of Carfax Tower before heading into the city's pedestrian-friendly streets. Follow your nose to the Covered Market for the makings of a picnic to enjoy at Headington Hill Park. Mix the historic and modern with visits to the 12th-century village church of Iffley and trendy Cowley's ethnic shops and music venues.

One of the main roads in the city which, as its name suggests, was once the widest street in Oxford. Several of the mains colleges are located along its length including Balliol and Trinity. The former is well worth a visit for a nominal entrance fee. Not far away from the two colleges are the Sheldonian Theatre and History of Science museum. Both of these are also worth visiting. Several cafes and bars can be found along its length if you fancy a break from wandering around.

It’s always interesting to watch the various levels of expertise as narrow boats and cabin cruisers pass through Sandford Lock. The lock keeper does a fine job of maintaining the Flores and gardens around this very pretty lock. Well worth a detour down to the River Thames.

Only five minutes drive from the ring road and from the main Iffley road very frequent buses drop you only five minutes walk from the start of the village.Two hotels and two village pubs and a casual walk takes you to the local church which is open and well worth a visit.Around the corner and down a slight hill you arrive at Iffley river which also has a pub open from Fridays to Sundays. Ducks and Geese feeding from walkers and iIf inclined it is forty minutes along the tow path to Oxford centre.A very good place to relax.
