The
Boat
House is located just upstream of the Elizabeth Way roadbridge, next to
Emma's
boat house. To get there on foot or bike:
- Head
out of college's main gates, round Pizza Hut, and along the side of
Parker's Piece by the University Arms (Park Terrace).
- From
the corner of Parker's Piece head down Clarendon Street and continue to
head straight on until you reach Midsummer Common.
- Follow
the path straight ahead, and follow it round to the right. You'll see a
white and magenta footbridge - head for that, and cross over.
- Downing's
Boat House is the second one, to the right along the river.
There
is a
gate on Cutter Ferry Path (turn right from the bridge), or you can turn
right down the side of the bridge
and walk
along the riverside to the front of the Boat House.
