ファームア貯水池での 周辺の簡単なハイキングとウォーキング

Pinkhill Lock is a picturesque lock on the River Thames, located between Eynsham and Oxford. It’s a peaceful spot, perfect for a riverside walk or a break while kayaking or paddleboarding. The lock is surrounded by lush greenery and wildlife, making it a great place to pause and enjoy nature. Nearby, you’ll find Pinkhill Meadow, a nature reserve known for its rich biodiversity, particularly its birdlife. If you’re lucky, you might spot kingfishers or herons along the water. It’s a hidden gem for those exploring the Thames Path, offering a tranquil escape from busier sections of the river.

Well worth the detour for the full English at Oxford boat club

This is where the Thames almost meets Farmoor Reservoir. As you hike along the footpath here, you are walking on a thin strip of land between the two waters. The Thames is vibrant and peaceful in the summer and you can walk along it as far as you like, on the Thames Path or, locally, the Oxford Greenbelt Way.

Built in 1791, Pinkhill Lock lies on the edge of Farmoor Reservoir in the vibrant Oxford landscape. The lock itself is particularly pretty and if you want to admire it for longer, you can even camp on the lock's island in the middle of the Thames – quite a unique site.

Just a stone's throw from Oxford and Farmoor Reservoir, St Michael's lies in the sweet village of Cumnor. The church is very active with services on site and online. With sections dating back to the 11th century, the church walls have plenty of stories to tell.

A lovely village. To the west you will find smooth roads and flat terrain, while the north will lead to the cotswolds.

Classic coffee stop in Eynsham.

Farmoor Reservoir is surrounded by beautiful countryside and woodland. The area is home to lots of birdlife, including black-headed gull, Eurasian coot, great cormorant, greylag goose, mute swans, tufted duck, white wagtail, mallard, plus more.
