Parson's Pleasure Weir, Oxford
Parson's Pleasure Weir, Oxford
This weir was created (date?) to take water from the east-flowing River Cherwell into an off-shot channel behind the photographer. It is perhaps still possible for the 'roller-way' here to be used for transferring punts from the higher level River Cherwell in the distance into this lower level, southerly-flowing branch. This beauty spot is accessible from Mesopotamia Walk behind the photographer. The latter is a cycle-track/footpath that extends from Linacre College, St Cross Road to Ferry Lane, New Marston.
