Sheepwash Channel, Oxford
Sheepwash Channel (also known as Sheepwash Cut) diverges from the main channel of the Thames behind the camera and flows away from this viewpoint under the railway to join the Castle Mill Stream. The channel is navigable under the bridges as far as the junction with the Castle Mill Stream: at this point, a short cut and lock give access to the Oxford Canal.
On the right, a short path links the north end of Abbey Road to the river towpath. The last house on Abbey Road might have claims to be the best connected house in Oxford: road in front, railway (and new road) behind it, and river to one side give a plethora of transport options.

Boat at the top of the street
Some people moor their boat at the bottom of their garden. This one is moored at the top of the street, Abbey Road, Osney to be precise. This is on the link between the Oxford Canal (left) and the River Thames, and the towpath is used by the Shakespeare's Way, postdating the man himself of course.
