Another little River walk - April and May .. Dry and Wet...

Castle Mill Stream

is a backwater of the River Thames

in the west of Oxford, England. It is 5.5 km long.

This was in April on a Sunny Day..

CAT NAP IN THE SUN ....

Looking from the Oxford Canal towards Jericho,

with the campanile tower of St Barnabas Church in the background

May Walk in the Rain ..

Not a lot of activity on the river today ...

they have all moored up for the day.

I have the one below photographed in April too ..

The Oxford Canal

is a 78-mile-long (126 km) narrow canal

in central England linking Oxford with Coventry via Banbury and Rugby. It connects with the River Thames at Oxford, to the Grand Union Canal at the villages of Braunston and Napton-on-the-Hill, and to the Coventry Canal at Hawkesbury Junction in Bedworth just north of Coventry. The canal was once an important artery of trade between the English Midlands and London, and is now highly popular among pleasure boaters.

The Oxford Canal passes mainly through the Oxfordshire, Northamptonshire and Warwickshire countryside, and is often considered to be one of the most scenic canals in Britain. North of Napton-on-the-Hill, the canal forms part of the Warwickshire ring.

Who you lookin at!!

Wet or dry this is a lovely walk to a pub or two!

North Parade Oxford...

Until a few months ago , I never knew this

quaint little street existed.

I was so surprised.

A fabulous little street with a buzz too it.

The walk actually started in Church Walk .. Below is

The Church of St Philip and St James in Oxford is a lovely 19th-century parish church that today houses the Oxford Centre for Mission Studies.
The interior is not accessible without an appointment, but the exterior is worth a look if you're in the neighbourhood.

The Latin American Centre

The Latin American Centre was founded in 1965 by St. Antony's College although St Antony’s had begun to develop Latin American studies in 1959. The main aims of the Centre are to educate graduate students in a range of disciplines applied to Latin America; to promote research on Latin America; to support a research library; to bring students and academics from Latin America to the University; and to organize seminars, lectures, workshops and conferences on Latin America.
