Dead Man's Walk, Oxford

Dead Man's Walk at the northern side of Merton Field with Merton College on the left and Magdalen Tower in the distance.

Dead Man's Walk (or Deadman's Walk[1]) is a footpath running east–west in central Oxford, England, situated immediately to the south of Merton College and just outside the old city wall, with Corpus Christi College at the western end.[2][3] To the north, Grove Walk connects with Merton Street through a gateway. Immediately to the south is Merton Field[4] with Merton Walk connecting to the wide tree-lined Broad Walk, which runs parallel with Dead Man's Walk. Beyond that is Christ Church Meadow.
