One of our favorite 'runseeing' tours in Europe. Historic buildings, Oxford University campus, River Thames paths, botanical gardens, historic bridges, and posh neighborhoods -- all in one easy-to-follow 9 km tour! Easy add-on opportunities.
There are many great running options featuring the multi-use paths lining the River Thames. Take the Thames Path south to the historic Iffley Lock, or further. Or, incorporate Thames paths with loops around Port Meadow and Christ Church Meadow.
The “University Parks” surrounding the River Cherwell in the east of Oxford have many great running paths. We’ve mapped a 5.5 km loop through the parks, and a 6.4 km tour of the Marston Ferry Path.
If you tire of the river paths in Oxford, another great long-distance option is the Oxford Canal. This towpath follows the waterside for 77 miles. We've mapped a 10k out and back from Gloucester Green and the Wolvercote Lakes, with options for many more miles.
Opportunities for a light trail run abound on the paths of Shotover Country Park in Headington. Run the paths on their own, or follow our 5 km route to reach the park from the center of the city. It's also easily reachable by transport.
This UNESCO World Heritage Site is a worth-it destination run. Miles of smooth and scenic walking paths surround spectacular grounds and formal gardens of this 17th century estate. We've recommended certain trails and mapped a loop from Woodstock.
