Trap Grounds

Lovingly looked after area of wilderness not far from town. Signs explaining about plants growing there, small winding paths and boardwalks through the greenery and along the pond. A little gem we stumbled upon accidentally...

I decided to wander along the Oxford Canal today and saw lots of ducks, frogs and even a Grey Heron. At the beginning of the path you see a map showing you what you will see, what to look for and what animals and birds you might see. It’s a quiet path where you might encounter others enjoying their surroundings. I had a great time today, stopping a lot along the way to take some pictures and enjoy the views.

Wunderbar! A treasure for all ages - adjoins the Oxford canal path and links to Port Meadow via a footpath and bridge. Decent footwear desirable in all wetlands! Not entirely accessible for all pushchairs etc. but the main route is.
Not large, but many exploring and learning opportunities - spot the small blackboards for seasonal interest to spot. Do support the WWT, BBOWT, RSPB and the Trap Grounds all have websites

A wonderful place for a quiet walk in nature.

Amazing place to explore
Pretty quiet and relaxing
Be sure to get some shoes which u dont mind getting muddy

My wife and I were walking up the canal towpath yesterday and came across the Trap Grounds by accident. A fabulous wetland wildlife reserve, a little slice of heaven. Truly magical!

A wonderful oasis for all the wild life you can imagine lakes marshes woodland and glades just a few minutes, walk from the centre of Oxford along site the pretty Oxford canal

I love this place so much! It's great to just walk around and take in the wonderful nature.
