Shotover Park

This is a large Nature Reserve of approximately 6 acres in Headington. Early evening/dusk it's mainly full of dog walkers, but as the sun set's it's an ideal place to cruise. It's out of the way from any residential area and has loads of space for guys to go off and not be caught! Even if the police did do a patrol, they would never find you as it's such a vast area. When I've been up there it has been mainly fit guys "exercising" and looking for something more ;-)

Best time
Sunset to Midnight, occasionally in the day if you go you'll see a guy or two…

The guide

Where exactly

From the Churchill Hospital, turn right onto Old Road heading towards the junction with Windmill Road. At the traffic lights continue straight ahead on Old Road. Once on this road, just stay on it and eventually it will turn into a narrow country road which is quite steep. Follow it all the way to the top and park in the gravel car park.

When to go

Sunset to Midnight, occasionally in the day if you go you'll see a guy or two in running shorts that are up for more than just a run.

Etiquette

Park in the main gravel car park. Walk through one of the wooden gates into the Park. Turn immediately right and walk along approximately 200 yards and you'll see some picnic tables. This is where the action is!

Nudity: It's quite dark, but you have a good view of any cars that might be coming into the car park, so this is a pretty safe place to be naked and have some fun.

Safety

Take your rubbish home with you! No one wants children to find your used . There are plenty of bins to put it in.
