Choose a city

Oxford is One of the most beautiful and historic cities in the UK with famous colleges, beautiful gardens, excellent galleries and of course the lovely river. Few people leave this wonderful city with anything but fond memories. In no particular order, here are our suggestions for things to do in Oxford:

Blenheim Palace

Blenheim Palace is one of the grandest buildings in the country with so much to see and do. Set in 2,100 acres Capability Brown designed parkland, the Palace boasts one of the prettiest open spaces in England. Blenheim is also famous for being the birthplace of Winston Churchill, and gives fascinating insight into the great war-time leader.

Modern Art Oxford, Oxford

Modern Art Oxford is an excellent museum dedicated to contemporary and experimental art with works by the likes on Tracey Emin. Admission is free for everyone from Tuesday to Saturday 10am to 5pm. On Sundays the gallery opens from midday to 5pm. For more information call 01865 722733 or go to www.moderartoxford.org.uk

Magdalen Bridge Boathouse

You should never leave Oxford having not messed around on the river. Punting down the River Cherwell is a great Oxford tradition and there's no better way to spend a sunny afternoon. The Magdalen Bridge Boathouse offers visitors the chance to try punts, rowing boats and a whole host of other water based transportation. Great fun!

The Bridge of Sighs

The Bridge of Sighs in Oxford is almost as famous as the the Rialto Bridge in Venice upon which it is based. Visitors can take a walk underneath the bridge to the Turf Tavern, a lovely pub popular with tourists and students alike. The Bridge is another absolute must photograph opportunity.
