This route is downhill all the way, past Iffley Church (Norman period) and part of Iffley Village, across the lock and up the riverside path.  Once you're on the towpath, travel up-river towards the city centre and further; or south along the much improved National Cycle Network route 5, towards Kennington and Abingdon.

The path is gradually being improved for cycling by the County Council's "Riverside Route" scheme www.oxfordshire.gov.uk/residents/roads-and-transport/roadworks/major-current-roadworks/riverside-route-cycle-project
