  • Brookes Goes Walking : a Guide to the Route
    Brookes Goes Walking : A Guide to the Route Starting from Brookes Students' Union: Follow the path to the bridge over the main road. This bridge was built in 1877 to link the two parts of the large Morrell estate on each side of the road below. The road was originally the Stokenchurch Turnpike constructed in 1775. Don't cross the bridge, instead walk down the road and turn right into Headington Park. The park was originally part of the ornamental garden belonging to the Hall where the Morrells lived. Turn left out of the park and cross the road with care. Take the path opposite down to the river. The large new stone building is the new Oxford University Centre for Islamic Studies. The building on the right by the River Cherwell was once the King’s Mill. It dates from the Middle Ages but stopped working in 1832. Turn right along the path. This area is called Mesopotamia, from the Greek for “between two rivers”. The original two rivers were the Euphrates and the Tigris so this Oxford version is on a slightly smaller scale! Along this stretch you will see many pollarded willows, trees which have been cut at about head height. The regrowth was used by local people for poles for building and fencing. Pollarding also prevents the trees from splitting when they get top heavy. On a map of 1887 a ferry was shown to operate here. The fields on both sides are often quite wet. Several fields you will see along the route contain rushes and sedges showing the marshy ground.
