About this tour
Nothing captures the charm of England quite like a peaceful punt gliding along the calm waters of a river, surrounded by nature, meadows, and striking historic buildings. This 30-minute punting tour on the River Cherwell departs from the boathouse and passes some of Oxford’s most scenic spots, including the Botanic Garden, Magdalen College School fields, and Christ Church Meadow.
If you feel more adventurous, the tour can extend to 1 hour beyond this point and go around the gardens of St Hilda’s College and fields—offering a chance to experience some of the most idyllic corners of Oxford.
