Short answer, no, New College / Queen’s Lane are just the most devoid of vehicles, signage and lights. Oxford has plenty of other ‘prettier’ streets, most of which are best viewed at night. However, I would say that this route is freakin’ awesome to walk down late at night / early morning in thick fog or heavy snow and doesn’t require night time to reduce traffic.
yes I think there are lots of other pretty streets.. perhaps the favourite is a personal choice.. I think I like this as its often on my commute. I went down the lamb and flag passage yesterday and forgot how nice that is..
@@trevwilliamsmusic Yes, Lamb & Flag Passage is very nice, although I’ve not had a beer in the Lamb for many years. I particularly like the way that bough of the large chestnut tree supports itself on the wall (assuming it hasn’t been cut down). Some of the residential streets off Woodstock and Banbury can be very attractive. But as you point out, aesthetic taste is subjective.
It’s definitely my favourite bike shortcut !
yes indeed no traffic! very lucky to have it
It might well be, it has some lovely little bits.
Holywell St. is a strong candidate.
Ah.. I'll have to do one of that.. :)
