Welcome to the Trap Grounds
Town Green & Local Wildlife Site

Here you can discover what makes this wild green space in suburban north Oxford so special, and why we campaigned all the way to the House of Lords to claim it as a Town Green. We redeemed this former rubbish dump and created a haven for wildlife and a retreat from the busy world. Now we manage the site in partnership with Oxford City Council for conservation, recreation, and education.

The site lies between the canal and the railway line, immediately south of the canal bridge in Frenchay Road, off Woodstock Road
(see street map below or click here).

The nearest postcode is OX2 6TF.What3Words for the entrance on the canal towpath: /// bills.candy.pine
