What You'll Do

Enjoy a peaceful punting tour along the calm waters of Oxford's River Cherwell. As your chauffeur guides the punt south from the boathouse, you will take in uninterrupted views of the Botanic Gardens, the oldest in the UK, with their striking glasshouses and beautifully maintained collections.

The journey continues past the playing fields of Magdalen College School before opening into the quiet beauty of Christ Church Meadows. This tranquil stretch of river was once a favourite retreat of Lewis Carroll during his time teaching at Christ Church. It was here, in the mid-19th century, that he created the stories of Alice's Adventures in Wonderland and Through the Looking-Glass. As the river curves, you will drift past the leafy gardens of St Hilda's College before gently returning to the boathouse, completing a scenic loop through some of Oxford's most historic landscapes.

Perfect for couples, families and visitors looking to unwind, this relaxing tour offers a timeless way to experience Oxford from the water, surrounded by nature, history and elegant college views.
