"Iffley Village is a medieval..." Iffley Tip by eddieman

Iffley Village is a medieval village close to the centre of Oxford. You can walk down the river to it (very pleasant, especially in summer): walk down St. Aldate's, and cross over the bridge at the end (Folly Bridge). Then turn left onto the river, on the right bank opposite the boat houses. Walk about 1.5km down and you will get to a pub called the Isis Tavern (nice place, though give the Morrells beers a miss); you can cross the river at Iffley Lock, then walk into the village itself (turn left after the lock at the top of Mill Lane). There is a 12th century church in the village (http://www.iffley.co.uk/). There is also a good pub (The Prince of Wales) with the best range of real ale in East Oxford, and good food (main course c. £5.50).

You can also get to Iffley Village by bus from the city centre, destination 'Rose Hill'. Get off at the terminus (The Oval), walk down Lenthall Road, follow it around to the left, and then walk through the barrier to Eastchurch - then you're in Iffley Village.

I represent the Rose Hill and Iffley ward on Oxford City Council - so perhaps I am biased in recommending this trip!
