The Marston Ferry Cycle track goes over the river Cherwell in Oxford. Begin at Cherwell Drive and go over the river. Further on take the underpass and then ski a little way beyond the school. Use the local A-Z type map.
DISTANCE
4km for the return trip.
SURFACE/DESIGNATION
Wide tarmac cycle track.
SAFETY DETAILS
Very safe but cyclists also use it.
FACILITIES
Shops etc. in New Marston and North Oxford.
OTHER DETAILS
Oxford has always had a very high density of cycles, therefore, there are numerous cycle tracks with excellent tarmac, all over the city. The above route is excellent for a work-out within a non-built up environment.
