We are the Andover Ramblers. We open the way for everyone in our local community to enjoy the pleasures of walking.
Mike and Jenny
Starting from Folly Bridge over the Thames we will walk through Christchurch Meadow then via a convoluted route through the city centre viewing many of the major historic buildings before crossing the River Cherwell to walk through Headington Hill Park then alongside the Cherwell and through the University Parks to the high class Victorian suburbs of North Oxford before crossing the Oxford Canal and walking across Port Meadow to Wolvercote then along the River Thames and the Oxford Canal back to the city centre. Hopefully there will be some good autumn colours in the parks.
The route may vary depending on whether Port Meadow is flooded or waterlogged although along much of the walk is on surfaced paths or roads and is almost entirely flat.
Meet to car share / convoy at Stannah Parking Bays, Anton Mill Rd Andover, please note that the meet time is the time that we intend to leave the car park. If leaving your car there, please put 'Andover Ramblers' note in the windscreen area. Parking by permission of Stannah. If you intend to go directly to the start point then inform the walk leader before hand in case of cancellation etc
Bus stop/ shelter at the Redbridge Park and Ride, Old Abingdon Road, Oxford, OX1 4XG from where we will take the bus to the city centre (this is the first Park and Ride signposted off the A34 just this side of Oxford). Further details re the Park and Ride via the Whatsapp group nearer the time.
