In the mood for some exercise, Oxford is a renowned "cycling city" with beautiful trails and country roads catering to all levels of cyclists. If you enjoy boating on beautiful canals there is no better way to spend a sunny Oxford day than to engage in one of the most quintessential Oxonian pastimes by renting a punt and boating along the Oxford canal.Ready to explore the beautiful English countryside, then a short drive will take you to the Cotswolds, or Stratford Upon Avon- the birthplace of Shakespeare. If prehistoric monuments interest you, nearby Stonehenge dating back to the bronze age is regarded as a British cultural icon. Enjoy a pint of ale or a bite at a local pub-  check out the Eagle and Child a J.R.R. Tolkien favorite, or visit Oxford’s oldest pub The Bear Inn which opened its doors in 1242. Drop by the popular but well-hidden historic Turf Tavern which Bill Clinton frequented while attending Oxford as a Rhodes Scholar.
