* Next, it's an easy pedal into the heart of the city centre - we'll lock up the bikes and visit famous landmarks such as the Bodleian Library, Radcliffe Camera, The Bridge of Sighs and see Oxford University colleges. We will go inside one of the Colleges (subject to availability) and you'll explore the historic streets and alleyways of this ancient city.
* Finally, we will cycle back along the tranquil Oxford Canal and the Thames River - a beautiful waterway lined with narrowboats and surrounded by nature, take in the peaceful scenery and listen to the sounds of the birds as you pedal along the towpath, soaking in the beauty of this hidden gem. We'll visit Port Meadow too, one of the largest open spaces in the north of the city, with the River Thames flowing through the heart of the meadow.
Port Meadow is home to cattle, wild horses and wildfowl.
