Broad Street

Reviewed By Onleaveagain - Stratford-upon-Avon, United Kingdom

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.

Sandford Lock

Reviewed By micknor51 - Newcastle, Australia

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.

Wayland's Smithy

Reviewed By Emishere13 - Gainesville, United States

A delightful long barrow situated within an atmospheric grove of trees. It is well worth taking the time to walk around this ancient place and absorb the tranquil atmosphere, and appreciate the silence. Accessible via a well posted mile long picturesque walk from the Uffington White Horse National Trust Car Park. Dog friendly, perfect picnic spots, unfortunately no toilets available. Note that car parking is free for National Trust Members or two pound charge for non members via ticket machine.

Iffley Village

Reviewed By worldmouse - Doncaster, United Kingdom

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.
