I find it safe to lock my bike in the market square. They are visible from the cafe windows and the entrance to the fish and chip shop. It gives a bit of peace of mind.

I parked in the small parking area by the bridge near Hardwater Mill (free) but having walked along the road I would suggest avoiding this section. It would be better to start from the Summer Leys Nature reserve car park (paid) or the very small parking area in Mary's Lane (free) where it crosses the disused railway line.
