서머튼 최고의 워킹 & 하이킹 경로

A fabulous sight. Especially for a city boy. For some reason these noble beasts have a calming effect on me.

A lovely, peaceful stretch of the Oxford Canal running parallel with the River Cherwell.

A lovely spot to rest and and enjoy the peacefulness. Thank you Bob.

When I saw this plant I thought 'I wonder if that's rhubarb'. So I looked it up on my plant identifier app. It turned out that it's called Butter Bur as well as the less flattering Pestilence Wort and Bog Rhubarb. I prefer Butter Bur, so called because in days of old the leaves were used to wrap butter to keep it fresh for longer.

Free parking is provided at Heyford Train Station for rail users only. However there are several, marked parking bays outside the boundary fence on what I took to be a public road. These too are free of charge. I got there at about 5.30pm and was able to find a space.

If you look across the water and into the meadow you may be lucky enough to spot some wild horses grazing along the riverbanks.

Nice uphill/downhill depending on which way you're going

While the cows to the east are really interesting to look at, the one on the west are curious and if you are patient you can pet them.
