Alice’s Day Extras – Sunday 6 July:

Alice in Waterland walks at 11am and 2pm

Circuits of Christ Church  Meadow. The circular route will follow waterside paths familiar to the real Alice (daughter of the Dean of Christ Church) and Lewis Carroll, who taught and lived all his adult life at the college. Based partly on his own research, local historian Mark Davies (a trustee of the Lewis Carroll Society and author of Alice in Waterland) will highlight in particular the all-important role of the River Thames in the creation of Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland and Through the Looking-Glass.

Tickets £10:

11am walk

2pm walk

Private Walks

Most of my WALKS are for pre-booked groups (starting at £60 inclusive for up to 20/24 people). However, if you as an individual, or as part of a small group, would like to arrange a walk, do please still feel free to get in touch at oxfordtowpathpress@gmail.com. Or, for £30 for up to five people (lasting 90 minutes or so), you can suit yourself as to start time time and exact route.

Not sure? Please have a look at my (sadly unmaintained!) ‘Customer Comments’ page.

I am happy to travel! I have given talks in numerous places in England and Wales, and on two short tours of the Republic of Ireland, but Assam in north-east India is the farthest away so far !
