Full description
Where exactly did Lewis Carroll first recount the story of 'Alice in Wonderland'? How did the pub called the Head of the River get its name? Find out the answers to these questions on this trek in Oxford.
You will tour the Thames as you pass through Oxford, from Iffley Lock to Wolvercote village, in a comfortable walk of about three hours, with as many stops to rest and tell stories as you require.
The guide will tell you about the old canals and the historical Towing Path. You will also discover the Natural Parks that trail this route and enjoy the charms of Port Meadow. Travellers who get tired do not have to worry because there are several pubs, inns, and taverns along the way and their owners will tell you about the history of each one of them.
