Oxford & Return from Lower Heyford

Easy Short Break

Lower Heyford 28 18 16 Suitable for Short Break or 1 Week holidays

A great weekend city break or a more relaxed midweek break, allowing extra time to explore the City of Oxford. This route along the South Oxford Canal is beautifully scenic, through rolling English countryside, until you reach the small city of Oxford.

How to Book: Choose the Base Lower Heyford in Oxfordshire and either the weekend or midweek option under Length of Holiday.

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.
