So much to do in Oxford! Look around the colleges, take in Harry Potter sights, go to the excellent Pitts River, Oxford University Museum of National History and Ashmolean museums. Walk along the river and go punting. Car parks in centre but you might be best to Park and Ride or Swanbrook bus from nearby Andoversford (5 mins drive from us). Definitely worth the effort!
