Oxford can be wonderful or slightly mmmmm depending on what you are looking at but this park is a gem. Lots of natural open space. Very popular with runners and dog walkers.

Really nice for a walk. The woods are nice and there is plenty of parking. My only gripe is some of the pot holes in the car park potentially reach all the way to Australia.

It's just sooo relaxing. You can enjoy nature as it's best. You can run, jog, walk, cycle, walk the dogs or the children 😂☺️ love it all weathers. Some people keep themselves to themselves (with a polite good morning/afternoon), others don't mind a small chat. It's lovely to see people from all backgrounds, young and old enjoying this very special place. Watch out for horse poo, as my dog loves rolling on it 😭

4/ 5

A woodland park, great for exploring and a stomp through the trees with 3 different marked out trails. Ideal spot for a picnic and letting the children off the leash to climb trees and discover their inner explorer. Paths are not flat or gravel/tarmac so not suitable for buggies, wheelchairs. In wet weather expect it to get muddy.
