サンドフォードオンテムズのおすすめランニングルート

川や運河がこの国を縦横に走り、特に後者は昔は交通インフラの非常に重要な一部でした。その後、まず鉄道が、さらに後にはトラックが貨物輸送の役割を引き継ぎました。様々な交通手段の競争において、それらは艀（はしけ）に比べて速く安価であり、したがってより効率的でした。 しかし、人工水路の建設においては、常に高低差を克服する必要があることを考慮しなければならず、そのため、運河沿いには、状況に応じて、多かれ少なかれ間隔を置いて、しばしば閘門が並んでいます。それらの助けがあって初めて、航行が可能になりました。

A wonderful running route along the canal with pretty houseboats, there is almost always rowing on the canal 😃

A place for a bonfire

Beware on the cyclepath alongside the canal. You meet quite big groups of pedestrians, and dog walkers too. Some aren't very pleased to share with cyclists, so be friendly.

The Carfax Tower offers the best view of Oxford. The stairs to the top are quite narrow and not suitable for people with claustrophobia.

Opened in 1965, the Isis Bridge is the modern road bridge over the Thames south of Oxford.

Osney Lock was first built in 1790 to create a mill pool to power Osney Mill. It controls the Bulstake Stream, a branch of the River Thames. The Thames Path walks alongside here.

The largest and arguably most famous of Oxford's colleges (thanks Harry Potter), Christ Church was founded by Henry VIII in 1546. It's both an Oxford College and the cathedral of the Oxford diocese. This entrance is Tom Tower, which leads to the great quadrangle, but there's a huge amount to the college, so it's worth dismounting and exploring the buildings and meadow if you have time.
