Originally a Saxon settlement, the town&#8217;s importance rapidly grew thanks to its perfect location at the junction of the River Thames and the River Cherwell. Oxford then fell under Danes&#8217; domination in the tenth century, before being conquered by the Normans. The town proliferated under the reign of King Henry II however it was devasted by the sweating sickness epidemic in 1517. The town played an important role during the English Civil War, as King Charles I found shelter in Oxford after he was expelled from London. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-justify\">During the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, the town developed massively thanks to the construction of the Oxford Canal and the opening of the rail route from Oxford to London. Industries such as car manufacturing and printing started to develop in the same period, contributing to the town&#8217;s economic success. However, they declined rapidly during the 1970s, leaving education and tourism as the main sectors of employment. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-justify\">Oxford is well known for its <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ox.ac.uk\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">University<\/a>. Established circa 1096, it is the oldest University in the English-speaking world. The University is composed of colleges offering a wide range of courses from languages to medicine, biology to fine art. It enrols an average of 3,500 new students every year and ranks number 1 in both The Complete and The Times publications for 2023. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-center\">The Oxford Thames Path Walk<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>So now we covered the basics, let&#8217;s get to the walk!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The Thames Path in Oxford<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-justify\">When you come out of the train station, get to the main road and turn right onto Botley Road. Walk under the bridge and you find the signpost to the Thames Path a little bit further down on your right. Go down to the Thames Path, which is pretty much residential on this part of the walk. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-justify\">As you continue walking alongside the Thames Path, the path becomes a bit more foresty (and bushy!). The houses leave space for a different kind of accommodation which are the houseboats. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-jetpack-tiled-gallery aligncenter is-style-columns\"><div class=\"tiled-gallery__gallery\"><div class=\"tiled-gallery__row\"><div class=\"tiled-gallery__col\" style=\"flex-basis:62.52604%\"><figure class=\"tiled-gallery__item\"><img decoding=\"async\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i2.wp.com\/theflamingohiker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Oxford-Thames-Path-Towpath-12-1024x536.jpg?strip=info&#038;w=600&#038;ssl=1 600w,https:\/\/i2.wp.com\/theflamingohiker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Oxford-Thames-Path-Towpath-12-1024x536.jpg?strip=info&#038;w=900&#038;ssl=1 900w,https:\/\/i2.wp.com\/theflamingohiker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Oxford-Thames-Path-Towpath-12-1024x536.jpg?strip=info&#038;w=1200&#038;ssl=1 1200w\" alt=\"Oxford Thames Path -

Its 3 main landmarks are :<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>The ruins of the Godstow Abbey and Nunnery<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>A stone bridge<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The Trout Inn Public House<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Godstow Abbey<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-justify\">The Godstow Nunnery was founded around 1115 by Ediva of Winchester. After it became an Abbey in honour of St. Mary and St. John the Baptist, she became the first abbess. It was the house of a striving community of Benedictines, with courts, cloisters and gardens. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-justify\">The Abbey became (in)famous when King Henry I&#8217;s mistress, Rosamund Clifford, retired to Godstow Abbey after her relationship with the King ended in 1176. She died at the Abbey a few years later and her tomb was laid in the choir of the Church until 1778 when it was moved to the cemetery. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-jetpack-tiled-gallery aligncenter is-style-rectangular\"><div class=\"tiled-gallery__gallery\"><div class=\"tiled-gallery__row\"><div class=\"tiled-gallery__col\" style=\"flex-basis:60.13247%\"><figure class=\"tiled-gallery__item\"><img decoding=\"async\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i2.wp.com\/theflamingohiker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Oxford-Thames-Path-Godstow-4-1024x536.jpg?strip=info&#038;w=600&#038;ssl=1 600w,https:\/\/i2.wp.com\/theflamingohiker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Oxford-Thames-Path-Godstow-4-1024x536.jpg?strip=info&#038;w=900&#038;ssl=1 900w,https:\/\/i2.wp.com\/theflamingohiker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Oxford-Thames-Path-Godstow-4-1024x536.jpg?strip=info&#038;w=1200&#038;ssl=1 1200w\" alt=\"Oxford Thames Path -

The estate was given by the king to Sir George Owen, who turned it into a home. It was sold in 1616 to the Walter Family, and during the Civil War, they fortified the house to protect it against the Parliamentarians. However, during the siege of Oxford, the Roundheads led an attack on the house and burned it. After that, the ruins of the site have been used by the locals as a source of bricks and the house has never been inhabited since. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-justify\"><em>Fun fact: The ruins of the Abbey are used as a backdrop in the movie Mama Mia, Here We Go Again!<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"536\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/theflamingohiker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Oxford-Thames-Path-Towpath-15.jpg?resize=1024%2C536&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Oxford Thames Path - stone bridge over the Thames\" class=\"wp-image-6366\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/theflamingohiker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Oxford-Thames-Path-Towpath-15.jpg?resize=1024%2C536&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/theflamingohiker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Oxford-Thames-Path-Towpath-15.jpg?resize=300%2C157&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/theflamingohiker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Oxford-Thames-Path-Towpath-15.jpg?resize=768%2C402&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/theflamingohiker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Oxford-Thames-Path-Towpath-15.jpg?w=1200&amp;ssl=1 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-justify\">You can walk inside the brick wall onto what used to be the Nuns&#8217; inner court as well as inside the ruins of the Church.

First mentioned in the Domesday Book in 1086, it was known for raising geese and a goose is still the village&#8217;s symbol. The village benefited from the construction of the Oxford Canal between 1774 and 1790 as well as the opening of the Oxford to Rugby rail route. The village&#8217;s main activity in the eighteenth century was the production of paper for the University of Oxford. This was made possible thanks to the paper mill powered by water on the Thames. It ceased operating in 1998 and the mill was destroyed in 2004. Nowadays, the village provides a nice countryside lifestyle so close to the town of Oxford.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-jetpack-tiled-gallery aligncenter is-style-columns\"><div class=\"tiled-gallery__gallery\"><div class=\"tiled-gallery__row\"><div class=\"tiled-gallery__col\" style=\"flex-basis:57.95169%\"><figure class=\"tiled-gallery__item\"><img decoding=\"async\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i2.wp.com\/theflamingohiker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Oxford-Thames-Path-Wolvercote-Village-1024x536.jpg?strip=info&#038;w=600&#038;ssl=1 600w,https:\/\/i2.wp.com\/theflamingohiker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Oxford-Thames-Path-Wolvercote-Village-1024x536.jpg?strip=info&#038;w=900&#038;ssl=1 900w,https:\/\/i2.wp.com\/theflamingohiker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Oxford-Thames-Path-Wolvercote-Village-1024x536.jpg?strip=info&#038;w=1200&#038;ssl=1 1200w\" alt=\"Oxford Thames Path - Wolvercote Village House\" data-height=\"628\" data-id=\"6395\" data-link=\"https:\/\/theflamingohiker.com\/?attachment_id=6395\" data-url=\"https:\/\/theflamingohiker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Oxford-Thames-Path-Wolvercote-Village-1024x536.jpg\" data-width=\"1200\" src=\"https:\/\/i2.wp.com\/theflamingohiker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Oxford-Thames-Path-Wolvercote-Village-1024x536.jpg?ssl=1\" data-amp-layout=\"responsive\"\/><\/figure><figure class=\"tiled-gallery__item\"><img decoding=\"async\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/theflamingohiker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Oxford-Thames-Path-Godstow-11.jpg?strip=info&#038;w=500&#038;ssl=1 500w\" alt=\"Oxford Thames Path - door entrance doors of houses one in bright blue and the other one in bright pink\" data-height=\"800\" data-id=\"6365\" data-link=\"https:\/\/theflamingohiker.com\/?attachment_id=6365\" data-url=\"https:\/\/theflamingohiker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Oxford-Thames-Path-Godstow-11.jpg\" data-width=\"500\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/theflamingohiker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Oxford-Thames-Path-Godstow-11.jpg?ssl=1\" data-amp-layout=\"responsive\"\/><\/figure><\/div><div class=\"tiled-gallery__col\" style=\"flex-basis:42.04831%\"><figure class=\"tiled-gallery__item\"><img decoding=\"async\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/theflamingohiker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Oxford-Thames-Path-Wolvercote.jpg?strip=info&#038;w=375&#038;ssl=1 375w\" alt=\"Oxford Thames Path - Thatched house with bright yellow shutters\" data-height=\"500\" data-id=\"6364\" data-link=\"https:\/\/theflamingohiker.com\/?attachment_id=6364\" data-url=\"https:\/\/theflamingohiker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Oxford-Thames-Path-Wolvercote.jpg\" data-width=\"375\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/theflamingohiker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Oxford-Thames-Path-Wolvercote.jpg?ssl=1\" data-amp-layout=\"responsive\"\/><\/figure><figure class=\"tiled-gallery__item\"><img decoding=\"async\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i2.wp.com\/theflamingohiker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Oxford-Thames-Path-Wolvercote-2.jpg?strip=info&#038;w=500&#038;ssl=1 500w\" alt=\"Oxford Thames Path - Facade of a Church with a wooden door and one tall window on each side\" data-height=\"800\" data-id=\"6363\" data-link=\"https:\/\/theflamingohiker.com\/?attachment_id=6363\" data-url=\"https:\/\/theflamingohiker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Oxford-Thames-Path-Wolvercote-2.jpg\" data-width=\"500\" src=\"https:\/\/i2.wp.com\/theflamingohiker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Oxford-Thames-Path-Wolvercote-2.jpg?ssl=1\" data-amp-layout=\"responsive\"\/><\/figure><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-justify\">As you walk through the village, you pass in front of the Wolvercote Baptiste Church, built in 1886. When you get closer to the railway, you find a gate on your right to enter Port Meadow. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Port Meadow<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-justify\">You then set food on the meadow you saw earlier when walking alongside the Oxford Thames Path. The 300 acres (120 ha) of pasture in front of you are used for animal grazing and as recreational grounds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-justify\">The legend says that the site has never been ploughed, meaning that you can find a lot of archaeological artefacts from the Bronze Age to the Civil War. It is believed the site was given to the Freeman of Oxford by Alfred the Great for their support in his campaign against the Danes. The Freemans have the right to graze their animals in the meadow free of charge, and this right remains until now. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-justify\">During WWI, the site was used as a training camp for the Royal Air Force and during WWII as a camp for the soldiers evacuated from Dunkirk during Operation Dynamo also known as the Myracle of Dunkirk. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-jetpack-tiled-gallery aligncenter is-style-columns\"><div class=\"tiled-gallery__gallery\"><div class=\"tiled-gallery__row\"><div class=\"tiled-gallery__col\" style=\"flex-basis:42.84956%\"><figure class=\"tiled-gallery__item\"><img decoding=\"async\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/theflamingohiker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Oxford-Thames-Path-Port-Meadow-4.jpg?strip=info&#038;w=500&#038;ssl=1 500w\" alt=\"Oxford Thames Path - path bordered with trees and ground covered in autumn leaves\" data-height=\"800\" data-id=\"6361\" data-link=\"https:\/\/theflamingohiker.com\/?attachment_id=6361\" data-url=\"https:\/\/theflamingohiker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Oxford-Thames-Path-Port-Meadow-4.jpg\" data-width=\"500\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/theflamingohiker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Oxford-Thames-Path-Port-Meadow-4.jpg?ssl=1\" data-amp-layout=\"responsive\"\/><\/figure><figure class=\"tiled-gallery__item\"><img decoding=\"async\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/theflamingohiker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Oxford-Thames-Path-Port-Meadow-2-1024x536.jpg?strip=info&#038;w=600&#038;ssl=1 600w,https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/theflamingohiker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Oxford-Thames-Path-Port-Meadow-2-1024x536.jpg?strip=info&#038;w=900&#038;ssl=1 900w,https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/theflamingohiker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Oxford-Thames-Path-Port-Meadow-2-1024x536.jpg?strip=info&#038;w=1200&#038;ssl=1 1200w\" alt=\"Oxford Thames Path - Grassy field of Port Meadow\" data-height=\"628\" data-id=\"6396\" data-link=\"https:\/\/theflamingohiker.com\/?attachment_id=6396\" data-url=\"https:\/\/theflamingohiker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Oxford-Thames-Path-Port-Meadow-2-1024x536.jpg\" data-width=\"1200\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/theflamingohiker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Oxford-Thames-Path-Port-Meadow-2-1024x536.jpg?ssl=1\" data-amp-layout=\"responsive\"\/><\/figure><\/div><div class=\"tiled-gallery__col\" style=\"flex-basis:57.15044%\"><figure class=\"tiled-gallery__item\"><img decoding=\"async\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/theflamingohiker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Oxford-Thames-Path-Port-Meadow-3.jpg?strip=info&#038;w=500&#038;ssl=1 500w\" alt=\"Oxford Thames Path - stone bridge over a ditch in the middle of a grassy field\" data-height=\"800\" data-id=\"6362\" data-link=\"https:\/\/theflamingohiker.com\/?attachment_id=6362\" data-url=\"https:\/\/theflamingohiker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Oxford-Thames-Path-Port-Meadow-3.jpg\" data-width=\"500\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/theflamingohiker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Oxford-Thames-Path-Port-Meadow-3.jpg?ssl=1\" data-amp-layout=\"responsive\"\/><\/figure><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-justify\">Nowadays, the site is the ideal spot for walkers, runners and cyclists. During the hot season, people gather on the bank of the Thames for sunbathing and a dip. As the meadow can get flooded, during the cold months, it turns into a gigantic natural ice-skating ring.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-justify\"><em>Fun fact: On 4th July 1862, Lewis Carol and Reverand Robinson Duckworth were rowing on the River Thames in front of Port Meadow. They were accompanied by three young girls, one being named Alice. To entertain the young ladies, Lewis Carol made up a story which later became Alice in Wonderland<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"536\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/theflamingohiker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Oxford-Thames-Path-Port-Meadow.jpg?resize=1024%2C536&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Oxford Thames Path - Thames overflowing in Port Meadow\" class=\"wp-image-6397\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/theflamingohiker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Oxford-Thames-Path-Port-Meadow.jpg?resize=1024%2C536&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/theflamingohiker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Oxford-Thames-Path-Port-Meadow.jpg?resize=300%2C157&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/theflamingohiker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Oxford-Thames-Path-Port-Meadow.jpg?resize=768%2C402&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/theflamingohiker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Oxford-Thames-Path-Port-Meadow.jpg?w=1200&amp;ssl=1 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-justify\">Note: Port Meadow is a typical flood- meadow so check before you go that the path is not flooded &#8211; unless you want to bring your ice skates!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Back to Oxford<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-justify\">When you reach the edge of Port Meadow, you find yourself back at the mouth of Castle Mill Stream which we passed by at the start of our walk.
