Oxford is one of Maryland's oldest towns, founded in 1683. It first appeared on maps in 1670. Located on the Tred Avon River, where it empties into the Choptank, the town has wonderful views over the water. You'll find plenty of shops, cafes and restaurants to pick up supplies and refuel on a bike ride. It's also a lovely town just to lose yourself in for a while.

Miles River is a tidal river and tributary of the Eastern Bay. Part of the Chesapeake Bay watershed, it's one of the area's busiest waterways, enjoyed by many boaters. The river flows for 12.9 miles (20.8 km).

On the southern tip of Tilghman Island, this wildlife area has fantastic views across the Chesapeake Bay. Look to the skies and you'll spot many birds, including perhaps ospreys and bald eagles who nest in the area. The park is open from 9 am until 5 pm daily.

Hooper Strait Light is quite a rare sight in Maryland. It's one of only four surviving screw-pile lighthouses on Chesapeake Bay. Lightships were first stationed here in 1827. However, in 1867, a square screw-pile was erected after the lightships were destroyed during the Civil War. The light was deactivated in 1966. Today, it serves as an exhibit of the Chesapeake Bay Maritime Museum.

Tuckahoe Creek is a tributary of the Choptank River. It's one of the most diverse and beautiful creeks in Maryland and great for kayaking. The creek is shallow and dotted with fallen trees and rocks, making it unnavigable aside from by kayak or canoe.

Cycling alongside Wye Mill takes you back in time to think about the history of this area, how these mills operated and how the industry developed here.
