This scenic park offers a delightful two-mile walk through meadows and along river banks, offering picturesque views and ideal spots for picnics, sitting or just relaxing.
The entrance to the meadow was extremely crowded, and also near the buildings of Christ Church there were several tour groups, and it was overwhelmingly crowded, with long lines to get in. However, as soon as we turned into the tree lined walk to the river, we left the crowds behind, and thus had a lovely walk along the river and the meadows, with some great views over Magdalen college tower and the Christ Church buildings in a distance. Passed several punters, and more kajaks.

Oxford's oldest cocktail bar, established 1979. Mixing the finest drinks and cocktails, coupled with great service. Huge array of liquor. Proudly independent.
I am always struck by how lucky I am in having this place, it could fit well in the city centre of any bustling city - and the staff show a high level of skills in the cocktail making, in their service and friendliness. We went on a Tuesday, which was quiet, and not only did we get our drinks, we were also served with cold cucumber-infused water for each colleague, which was just what was needed after a full day at work. The beers were served in a tankard that had been in the freezer, and my favourite cocktail, the Bannoffee Pieface, was still as delicious as ever. The weekends is for people-watching, a real vibe, with live DJs. Perfectly located in Jericho. My favourite place to bring colleauges or friends or family, when trying to impress. Oh and they serve bar snacks, hot french fries and mini spring rolls. Amazed. They also do vodka tasting and other spirit-tasting days, aimed at other bar staff from other bars but all welcome.
