Shared • Oxford University Punting Tour

Enjoy a peaceful punting tour along the River Cherwell, one of the most scenic and relaxing ways to experience Oxford natural beauty and historic charm. Drifting gently south from the boathouse, you will glide past the Oxford Botanic Gardens, the oldest botanic gardens in the United Kingdom, famous for their elegant glasshouses and carefully curated plant collections. The calm pace of the river allows you to fully appreciate the riverside views while your chauffeur skillfully guides the punt along the water, creating an unhurried and memorable experience.

Continuing downstream, the journey passes the playing fields of Magdalen College School before opening into the wide green landscapes of Christ Church Meadows. This tranquil area was once a favorite walking spot of Lewis Carroll during the nineteenth century while he taught at Christ Church, inspiring scenes and ideas for Alice Adventures in Wonderland and Through the Looking Glass. As the river curves, you will float by the lush gardens of St Hilda College before gently returning to the boathouse, completing a beautiful loop through some of Oxford most enchanting scenery.
