Shotover Country Park, Oxford

This really is easy to get to. Take the turning left, down next to the Churchill Hospital - in the opposite direction to Oxford Brookes University - and continue on up. It is a bit hilly, but eventually you will get to a car park. It's amazing how quickly the landscape changes into countryside.

There's lots of parking. 

There is a large wood: We visited with a friend who had been before and apparently there is a sandpit. Unfortunately we didn't stay long because it started to rain quite heavily so we didn't find it.


Grey day but still a lovely view:
