Overview

A leisurely flat easy walk around the north of Oxford, following rivers and crossing parks.  The full walk is around 6 miles but there is an option to shorten this to 3 miles returning to the town centre via the Oxford Canal rather than the going on to parks and colleges. There will be an optional stop at a cafe in the town centre after the walk before catching the train back to Reading.
