Theres a largeish free carpark at the ground - an eyesore with 3 stands and a fence , its in near slum conditions .
The a Statue of a Bronze Raging Ox in the car park. Car park starts filling up from 1pmish- its shared with the Cowlplex & multi screen cinemas on the same site
Public transport is almost non existant ... most the sights etc are in the City Centre, ridiculously expensive to park ( £13.60 for two hours) if you can find a space free- driving from the City Centre to the breeze block could take ages thanks to speed restrictions on both cowley rd and iffley road and of course the controversial LTNS
If you want a bit of 'local' history of sorts, in Headington Theres the shark in the roof , ( I think its still there) The Britaniana pub, where Headington FC were formed in 1893 ( Blue Plaue commemorating that) Headington FC, later Headington Utd then Oxford United Played at the Manor Ground ( now a private hospital, the old driveway entrance to what was the London Rd End at the Manor is next to a Shell Fuel station , opposite The Britannia pub ... if you have time after visiting Headington, you could pop into Risinghurst off the Ring Road, Where CS Lewis' cottage is off Kiln Lane in Lewis Close -
There really isn't anything of much note in walking distance of the soul less breeze block -
I would recommend The pre match Buffet at The Blackbird, however this season it appears to be home fans only in there
Hope some of that is helpful
The Shark is still there. There is also Cromwell's House in Marston:
