Tour of Radley
North
Radley
At
the north end of Radley, open pasture merges into woodland.
Bagley Wood covers much of Kennington to the north.
Within Radley itself, lies Radley Great Wood, a smaller
separate area of woodland on the SE corner of Bagley
wood. Public footpath F7 skirts its western edge, and
a number of paths extend into the wood. This is an area
of great natural beauty that is enjoyed by walkers and
naturalists. The Pebble Hill and Woodlands mobile homes
parks lie amongst the trees on the eastern edge of Radley
Great Wood where it borders on the Kennington Road.
To the west, the often busy A34
cuts a swathe through the countryside. However this
section of the road lies in a cutting so that the visual
and aural inpact on the surrounding countryside is lessened
to the extent that, within a hundred metres or so, one
is hardly aware of its presence. A small settlement
lies within the parish to the west of the A34 between
it and the old A4183 (now unclassified) Abingdon-to-Oxford
road.
