Review of The Covered Market Oxford

The Covered Market Oxford, Market St, Oxford OX1 3DZ, United Kingdom.

Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

An Oxford institution almost as well-established as the Colleges (although a lot less well-known), the covered market is home to dozens of small and local shops and cafes. Well worth a visit whether you’re a resident or just a tourist in the city.

Moo-Moo's, 34/35 The, Covered Market, Oxford OX1 3DZ, United Kingdom.

Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐

Fresh ice-cream milkshakes in literally hundreds of flavours. I recommend the Terry’s Chocolate Orange.

Dan Q found GLTG6AWT Patchy the Pirate

This checkin to GLTG6AWT Patchy the Pirate reflects a geocaching.com log entry. See more of Dan's cache logs.

Found during a trip to the cinema with my family, whom I’m up visiting in Preston from Oxford. Very quick find thanks to a solid description: cache still intact despite ongoing work on the paths here; however, currently NOT wheelchair accessible until the new paths are laid. SL, TFTC.

Motorline Nissan Oxford, Oxford Motor Park, Langford Ln, Oxford, Kidlington OX5 1FJ, United Kingdom.

Rating: ⭐⭐

Soulless collection of dealerships, all in one place! I’m not sure whose idea it was that car dealerships belonged all in one place (like a food court or a shopping centre): maybe somebody who genuinely believes that normal people “window shop” for cars and want the convenience of being able to do so on foot?

It’s a good location, but a pointless exercise.

Review of Pitt Rivers Museum

Pitt Rivers Museum, S Parks Rd, Oxford OX1 3PP, United Kingdom.

Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐

The Natural History Museum’s secret cousin, which you’d be as likely to discover by happy accident as by design. A remarkable diversity of ethnographic representation is crammed-in from wall-to-wall and you could easily spend all day among the collections and still have more to see.

Review of Argos Kidlington inside Sainsburys

Argos Kidlington inside Sainsburys, 289 Oxford Rd, Kidlington OX5 2PE, United Kingdom.

Rating: ⭐⭐⭐

In theory, a nice and easy way to get Argos goods if you can’t have them delivered to your house: pick them up with your weekly shopping. In practice: you’re likely to stand around for some time waiting for your order to come out from the back… by which point you might as well have driven to Argos! Still useful if you’re within walking distance, I suppose.

Grovelands Convenience Store, Kidlington OX5 1TS, United Kingdom.

Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐

Convenient and with plenty of parking as well as easy access by foot. Sells… almost anything you need about the home. Super friendly service.

Yr Hen Orsaf - JD Wetherspoon, Alexandra Rd, Aberystwyth SY23 1LN, United Kingdom.

Rating: ⭐⭐⭐

Just another Wetherspoons. Clean and convenient and with cheap drinks, but with food priced at the Wetherspoons price points usually reserved for larger cities: bit of a rip-off in Aberystwyth!

Launderette Golchdy, 75 N Parade, Aberystwyth SY23 2JN, United Kingdom.

Rating: ⭐⭐⭐

Basic, functional launderette. The machines are usually in working order and it’s rarely busy, but it’s inadvisable to leave your washing unattended, even just to go to the shop across the street!

Review of SPAR

SPAR, 32 Terrace Rd, Aberystwyth SY23 2AE, United Kingdom.

Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐

Friendly, central, and open virtually all of the time: putting the “convenience” into “convenience store”.
