It is amazing to think that just a mere eleven years ago Wendy and I got married in Macrory Gardens. This is the first time in three year that Wendy has not had to be away for excavation season so we took advantage of the beautiful day by taking a walk to The Trout Inn, a place that was frequently filmed in the detective series "Inspector Morse" for its scenic location.
It was a long but beautiful walk taking the Thames (pronounced tehmz) River tow path. We started around Noon and took the tow path into town where Wendy had a Chai Tea and I had a Coffee. We then set out at a leisurely pace to The Trout Inn in Wolvercote.
The walk was really beautiful. It is the first time either Wendy or I had been up this way on foot.
We had an amazing lunch at The Trout Inn then took a stroll through the ruins of Godstow Nunnery.
The abbey became the final burial place of the famed beauty Rosamund Clifford (died circa 1176), a long-term mistress of Henry II. Henry's liaison with Rosamund became public knowledge in 1174; it ended when she retired to the nunnery at Godstow in 1176, shortly before her death. (from Wikipedia)
We then walked back the way we came until Fiddlers Island where we took a different route
It was a great day and we walked a long ways. I've added a map of our route.
18.76 km/11.66 mi
And a 3D view of our walk (if your really bored).
