A walk from south to west Oxford

| 11 September 2002 is a perfect summer's day, the air fresh and clean, not a cloud in the sky. We start from the lake in Hinksey Park in South Oxford, passing over the brook which drains the lake into the Thames. You can see these on another virtual tour page. We shall walk to the south-west of Oxford, joining the Thames river. | |
 |  |
| There's a secret path through meadows and common land which follows close to the railway line, towards the city centre but avoiding all the roads. | |
 |  |
| It emerges in the Grandpont Nature Park, which the city council created twenty years ago from the old industrial area of gasworks and train sidings. The big fingers poke up from the earth as a surprise sculpture in the picnic area. Now we meet the river Thames: as we cruise along, the Ice Rink is on the other side. | |
