Oxlode

united kingdom

Oxlode is a small fenland settlement about 10 kilometres southwest of Ely, reached via the A142 and local roads through the flat Cambridgeshire countryside. Most traffic comes from nearby communities like Pymoor and Downham, though visitors from Cambridge typically use the A10 via Stretham. The name derives from Old English meaning "oxen's watercourse," referencing the ancient drainage channels that still define this agricultural landscape.
