We started this walk from Oxford City train Station which has several car parks around the location, but obviously use the train and public transport if you can, parking is not cheap in Oxford and the traffic can be heavy.
Flat pathways, half of this walk runs along the canal the other along the Thames (and therefore the Thames Path Long Distance Walking route) before you hit Oxford again.
Some large parts of the River Thames available to have a splash around in, just mind the rowing the boats and the swans!
Regular bins available along the whole route.
As mentioned previously we started this walk from Oxford City Center which has a plethora of fabulous Dog Friendly Pubs and cafes etc.
This is a great walk from the city centre along to Wolvercote and then circles back around to the train station. We visited some of the best dog friendly pubs on this route. The Wolvercote which boasts that Muddy Boots, wet Dogs and well behaved Children are welcome. The Trout, which had a lovely terraced garden to the back with a gorgeous bridge over the river. We didn't stay for lunch here but I've been reliably informed the food is excellent but make sure you book! And last but by no means least The Perch, this really is a gem of a pub , with a simply stunning garden and layout, a truly great spot in the summer that opens up the outside bar when the sunny days get busy. Port Meadow is very popular on the warmer days with humans and dogs, there are horses on the meadow.
Along the canal and under the bridges etc there is some wonderful artwork. Godstow is a hamlet about 2.5 miles northwest of the centre of Oxford. It lies on the banks of the River Thames between the villages of Wolvercote to the east and Wytham to the west. The ruins of Godstow Abbey, also known as Godstow Nunnery, are here and Riley had a lovely time running around them.
