Photo: Ramblers in the countryside
The area covered by the Oxford Group includes the area within and around Oxford also the many fine historic local towns and villages surrounding the city including Blenheim Palace, Port Meadow and Shotover Country Park. The classical parks of the city contrast with the diverse landscape of nearby villages, fields, woods and moorland.
Within the City, there are many open spaces and parks to be walked, from ancient farmland and the historic grazing areas of Port Meadow to the more formal University Parks, Christchurch Meadows, and Magdalen College Deer Park, all within the Oxford Ring Road.
An aerial view of Oxford shows an unexpected number of green open spaces. Indeed, the group’s Footpath Secretary's work varies from shared footpath and cycle ways in the city centre on one day, to rights of way across the historic Port Meadow, or the Cherwell Paths on the next, perhaps taking in the Oxford canal and the Thames Path.

Walking is a simple pleasure that should be open to everyone, so we campaign to remove barriers to walking and we protect the places we love to wander.
