Postcard text:

Pick up the canal towpath at Hythe Bridge and walk past the barges and locks, past St Barnabas’ Venetian tower at Jericho and the Aristotle Bridge, right up to Wolvercote; then cross the village and follow the Thames itself.

Pass through the great flood plain at Port Meadow, notice the track to the Perch at Binsey . Follow the river south and you’re near Oxford station. The water guides you along the way.
