The best/easiest/cheapest way to park and bus into Oxford. Be sure to use the first parking area (Water Eaton) and not the Parkway station parking. You can get parking and two bus tickets for £5 for the day. Take the no.2 bus to the city centre (this also goes to Woodstock)

Nature in the city of Oxford
A wonderful open space in north west Oxford, with the Thames flowing through the floodplains. The Perch pub is on the west side of the Thames. To the north are the ruins of Godstow Abbey. On the east side is a nature reserve - Burgess Field.
Parking is difficult on the city side, but you could park in Binsey, near The Perch pub.
