アッパーヘイフォードでののおすすめライド

A lovely, peaceful stretch of the Oxford Canal running parallel with the River Cherwell.

Free parking is provided at Heyford Train Station for rail users only. However there are several, marked parking bays outside the boundary fence on what I took to be a public road. These too are free of charge. I got there at about 5.30pm and was able to find a space.

Great tucked away cafe with outdoor bike rack and seating. Perfect for a delicious coffee break or little treat, thoroughly recommend!

Watch the right hand bend at the bottom

Nice uphill/downhill depending on which way you're going

While the Church of England parish church of Saint James the Apostle is known to have existed by 1074 (a Norman carved doorway in the nave dates from this period), much of the building, including the bell tower, is Decorated Gothic from the first half of the 14th century. St. James' also has features from the 13th, 15th and 16th centuries. St. James' is a Grade I listed building. Source: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Somerton,_Oxfordshire

Stunning country house by the river Cherwell. Magnificent specimine trees and rare breed cattle

Coffee shop with bike shop. Hot choc, real honey flapjack and chocolate brownie were all outstanding.
