There are so many lovely parks in and around Oxford. Each with their own personality and each is well worth a visit, especially in the spring. I was away for a month and on my first day back I walked through three of Oxford's finest parks -- all are quite near each other: South Park, Headington Hill Park, and University Park. They are in their glory at this time of year. It was a great way to celebrate a renewed visa that will allow us to stay another 3 years.
Headington Hill Park
South Park on Headington Hill. It is the largest park within Oxford city limits with a good view of the city centre with its historic "dreaming" spires.
Oxford University Parks, commonly referred to locally as the University Parks, the Uni Parks or just The Parks.
Let me know where your favorite park is. After 3 years, years I'm still discovering new ones. I'd love to hear about and add your favorites to this blog.
