BBC News reports: A private view. An untrodden walk. A secret spot. Many of us want to be the first to stumble across a special place when taking time out from our everyday lives, even if it's just a hop and a skip off the beaten track. So where might they go? To mark British Tourism Week, the Magazine has asked some household names for their picks of off-beat spots to visit.
Novelist Philip Pullman suggests the canal tow path in Oxford. "Its winding route takes in the bohemian suburb of Jericho, which featured in my His Dark Material trilogy. The canal tow path is a very attractive walk. You can start in the city and follow it as far as Wolvercote, or go in the other direction down Castle Mill Stream through the city. It takes some really interesting turns and twists until it meets the Thames nearby."
