Godstow Abbey is the remains of a 12th-century nunnery. It is located in a peaceful meadow beside the River Thames, just north of Oxford. This historic site is renowned as the final resting place of "Fair Rosamund" de Clifford, the famed mistress of King Henry II.

This whole lane has now been covered with gravel so no mud but less fun!

This church, which is dedicated to the Holy Cross (Latin "Santa Croce"), takes its patronage from the cross on which Jesus Christ died. The veneration of the Holy Cross goes back in large part to Saint Helena, who was the mother of Emperor Constantine the Great (who recognized Christianity as a religion after his victory at the "Milvian Bridge" in front of Rome and ended the long period of persecution with the "Edict of Toleration" of Milan in 312). In the early fourth century, she made a pilgrimage to the Holy Land (Israel / Palestine) and brought numerous relics back to Europe, including the "True Cross" on which Jesus Christ was crucified. Helena is therefore often depicted with a cross as an attribute. The church celebrates the feast of the discovery, public presentation and veneration of the Holy Cross - called the "Exaltation of the Cross" - on September 14th.

The Trout Inn at Godstow is no ordinary pub. It's a stunning building in an exceptional location, right on the banks of the Thames outside Oxford. But it's not just today's locals and visitors who love it. The pub is mentioned in 'Brideshead Revisited' by Evelyn Waugh, was a film location for Inspector Morse and, most recently, is heavily feature in Phillip Pullman's book 'La Belle Sauvage', part one of a trilogy preceding 'His Dark Materials' or, The Northern Lights Trilogy. It's worth noting that there are two other pubs with the same name not far away and both on the Thames. So be careful that you're looking at the right pub if you go searching online for menus.
