'''Oxford''' is home to one of the [[UK]]'s most prestigious Universities and is a tourist hot spot.
==Hitching Out=====South-East towards [[London]] or North towards [[Birmingham]]===
* '''Route:''' A40 (Eastbound), [[M40 (UK)|M40]]
'''Option 1''' - a truck stop near Thornhill Park and Ride
If you are hitching up north, you can also try the A44/A34 junction (there is a petrol station there too). It's a 3-mile walk or a bus journey to Pear Tree Park and Ride
===South towards [[Portsmouth]], [[Southampton]], [[Winchester]], [[M4 (GB)|M4 Motorway]], West towards [[Swindon]]===
* '''Route:''' [[A34 (GB)|A34]]
'''Option 1''' - Botley [[Interchange]]
Here you can either hitch on the slip road, or walk along A34 to the South or 1/2 a mile - there is a nice and long lay-by, where all A34 Southbound traffic is able to stop.
==Oxford Motorway Services==
* '''Access''': [[M40 (UK)|M40]] Junction 8A, A418 (off A40)
* '''Site Type''': Single site, used by traffic in all directions
An alternative option would be to start walking in the direction of Headington (St Clement's Street, A420), and try to get a lift on the way towards the services or at least A40 (Thornhill Park and Ride or truckstop). There is a "Shell" [[petrol station]] on London Rd in Headington, so you may try asking for a lift there.
