We will be visiting the historic and beautiful town of Oxford, home to the world-famous Oxford University, stunning architecture, the Bodleian Library, Ashmolean Museum and much else besides.

We'll spend the day there, and you will take part in a walking tour which will take you past some of the most famous colleges and monuments in Oxford, and a peek at some of the various locations used in the Harry Potter films.

You will also enjoy a guided punt along the River Cherwell taking in sights such as Christ Church College Meadows where Lewis Carroll wrote the famous Alice Through the Looking Glass, St Hilda’s College, the Magdalen School Rose Gardens and the Botanic Gardens.

There will also be some free time for you to get lunch, explore at your own pace and do a little shopping!
