I’m taking a bit of a risk with this Book 1 walk as it has not been done
for almost 3 years and has rather fallen out of favour. It was originally
designed as an easy, flat walk for
visitors to London and a chance to amble around Oxford colleges.
However the route is redolent with history and interest and Oxford should be buzzing with Xmas shoppers and
“end of term” students. (You may care to do a bit of Xmas shopping yourself!)
You can do the college tours if you wish but you may prefer to amble round the
city centre and take refreshments at one of the many bijou cafes or pubs.
The walk has been rewritten and up-dated so don’t use the book but see here for
more information about the walk, refreshment options, and detailed walk
directions.

Intend going
is it suitable to bring a four-legged creature on this walk ?
Yes well behaved dogs are welcome on these walks. We've had a few canine friends along in the past.
Did anyone go on this walk? Numbers much appreciated.
