Two minutes walk from the railway station is an island surrounded
by the Thames which was the location of a twelfth century
Augustinian abbey. After its dissolution by Henry VIII its
huge bell was housed in the specially built Tom Tower at
Christ Church.
Botley Road
Further out from the station Botley itself was built
in the 1930s. It has a shopping centre and good car parking;
also
the Park & Ride bus service (Seacourt) to the
town centre. The ring road/A34 bisects it but is well concealed
and noise
insulated.
