Jon had taken a couple of days off over Easter so we headed up to Oxford for the day to do the City, Tower and Meadows Treasure Trail. We caught the train into Reading, then hopped on another into Oxford.
It was then a 20 minute walk from the station into the town centre to find the clock for the start of the trail.
We started off walking through the city centre, some parts we had walked through previously but others parts we hadn’t previously explored.
Some of the buildings were incredibly old but really well preserved.
We passed an interesting pub where Shakespeare allegedly stayed and there were some interesting paintings of Harry and Megan.
We walked past some of the famous Colleges of Oxford University and eventually wandered over Magdalen Bridge – where the students traditionally jump off to celebrate May Day. The water was incredibly shallow so you can see why the powers that be try to stop this.
Even though we were in the city, we suddenly found ourselves in the tranquil surroundings by a small river, which wended its way around and flowed into the Isis.
Treasure Trail complete and we popped into The Crown for a quick drink (thirsty work!). We headed home mid afternoon (football practise beckoned)
