ADVENTURES
BEGIN
Oxford City Farm
A city farm? In Oxford? Yes! And it’s much loved, as are it’s residents. This community led charity in the heart of East Oxford is growing food and community.
Hinksey Heights Nature Trail
Here for the boardwalk of dreams? Us too! Follow the map around the circular trail through the 12 hectare site which has diverse habitats of fen and reedbeds, wet woodlands and grasslands
Brill Windmill
The windmill sits so proudly at the top of the village! Below is undulating landscape that children love to run up and down and a coffee van that sets up in the car park too. Heaven!
Garsington Playground
A park with a view! And a whole lot of great play equipment too. Bring a ball for a kickabout after.
DON’T
FORGET TO
sign up for the Big Butterfly Count! The Big Butterfly Count is a UK-wide survey that takes place every August and is aimed at helping Butterfly Conservation assess the health of our environment simply by counting the amount and type of butterflies we see.
