Oxford & Return

Oxford & Return canal boat holiday

Oxford spires

26 Miles | 18 Locks | 3 & 4 NIGHT CRUISE | 5 hours per day

A great weekend city break or a more relaxed midweek break, allowing extra time to explore the City of Oxford. Head south on the South Oxford Canal cruising through pretty farmland heading into a deeply wooded stretch, meandering through pretty villages, stopping off at one of the many excellent Oxford Canal pubs.

A short taxi ride from Thrupp is the world famous Blenheim Palace, well worth a visit. Continue cruising down the South Oxford Canal to the moorings close to Isis lock for an easy walk into Oxford– the City of Dreaming Spires. Famous for being the home of one of the most prestigious universities in the world, Oxford hosts many museums, shops, pubs and restaurants to explore.

Turn at the moorings for the return journey back to the base at Lower Heyford.
