Oxford walks: Outer circut

Street map

Description

Our third walk is a longer stretch, which encircles the centre of the town to reach aspects of Oxford beyond the normal tourist spots.

Nowhere in Oxford is far from university connections, and we pass a wide variety of university locations. However, as a refreshing change, we also capitalise on gardens and parks lying near the edge of town, pass through a variety of residential areas, visit some of Oxford's industrial past, and see more of Oxford's literary connections.

Saving the best almost to the end, we visit the remarkable Pitt Rivers Museum. Surprisingly, this museum is not widely known, - but in my view it's one of the unmissable treasures of Oxford.
