From this crossroads at the northern end of Edgeway Road, cyclists and pedestrians who choose to turn left can get into the city (arriving near to Linacre College, St Cross Road) by joining the - University managed - "Mesopotamia Walk" (2-3 minutes away). The track ahead leads to Park Farm and on towards sports fields owned by Exeter and St Catherine's Colleges, whereas the track on the right, rendered impassable by security fencing, leads to Hertford College's sports ground. It occurs to me that rented accommodation would probably be slightly cheaper in this suburb and that some individuals might therefore choose to 'cycle in' from New Marston (10 minutes away), rather than living in the city centre?
