A leisurely afternoon circular walk. We take the Oxford canal towpath to the Jericho footbridge to Mount Place. We then work our way through Jericho exploring the links between the area and the Oxford canal.

This is a leisurely walk which allows time to stop and take photos, take in the local wildlife and generally enjoy the well-being effects of being by water.

Please note that the Oxford canal towpath is level and flat, but there are two hump back bridges to cross as well as a set of steps up and down the Jericho footbridge.

The walk is not suitable for buggies or wheelchairs.

Well-behaved dogs are welcome to join the walk, but must be kept on the lead at all times.

The great thing about walking is that you do not need any fancy equipment. Please just wear comfortable shoes and to bring some water.
