It was just wondering that how I missed this place for more days. It's a walk place along the riverside with some boats parked at the sidepath which gives a pleasant mood to feel good. I was shocked to the see the view. It's for free (no entry or exit way).

Great morning walking around and seeing the thousands of fritillaries. Just a few other people about so quiet except for the noisy nearby roads.

Iffley meadow is a beautiful place with nice walks and very peaceful. Some parts have a sign that there are cows which we couldn’t see any today. Very peaceful and nice areas to sot by the river to enjoy the quiet spots as well.

The most quiet and peaceful place in Oxford. The walk besides the river is overwhelming.
