There's a J.R.R. Tolkien park bench!

beautiful in autumn

In 2012, Lisa Kuppler (Frankfurter Allgemeine Sonntagszeitung) paid tribute to the writer J.R.R. TOLKIEN (1892 to 1973), who invented a fictional world called Middle Earth inhabited by 'hobbits', with the words: "It is this complex creation of an entire world that makes 'The Lord of the Rings' the original text of the fantasy genre." Two decades earlier - on the occasion of his 100th birthday - a bench and two trees were dedicated to him here, in Oxford's university park. Tolkien's most popular work to date includes the volumes: "The Fellowship of the Ring" (Volume 1); "The Two Towers" (Volume 2); "The Return of the King" (Volume 3). Many people may not have read his books, but they know the film version of this great myth.

Beautiful parks that invite you to linger.

This section of the Oxford Canal Walk follows the path between the Oxford Canal and the Castle Mill Stream. It's a well surfaced traffic free trail, perfect for easy or fast miles but watch out as it gets busy at peak times.

You can hire bus or bike outside the station

Can ride along the canal
