Messing about on the River - Punting in Oxford
Overview
This is a lovely activity, and includes a chauffeur so we can relax and enjoy the scenery. We are planning an hours trip, and afterwards we can get some lunch nearby. We can get 6 people in each punt. We recently did this activity as part of a weekend break, but it might also be of interest to locals who didn't join the weekend event.
Includes
- Spice Host
- 1 hour chauffeured punting
We will take a punt tour downstream past the stunning Botanic Gardens, Magdalen College School (1458), and St. Hilda’s College – the last all-female college in Oxford. The tour continues through Christ Church Meadows, where Lewis Carroll penned parts of Alice in Wonderland, before returning back to Magdalen Bridge.
Then we punt further downstream onto the Thames to see the world-famous Oxford University rowing eights, the clubhouses, and larger ferry boats towards Folly Bridge.
