Day Two<br />
10 am<br />
Next door to the Malmaison<br />
is the Oxford Castle &<br />
Prison. Take a guided<br />
tour and let the characters<br />
reveal their fascinating<br />
stories entrenched in the<br />
building’s 1,000 year history<br />
while you explore the Saxon<br />
St George’s Tower and<br />
descend deep underground<br />
to the 900 year old crypt.<br />

The City of Dreaming Spires: Oxford<br />
11 am<br />
Head over to Folly Bridge<br />
and the River Thames.<br />
From here you can try out<br />
the quintessentially Oxford<br />
tradition of punting. Hire<br />
a punt or be chauffeured<br />
by Salters Steamers and<br />
admire the views of Christ<br />
Church in the distance.<br />
1 pm<br />
Take a short walk back along St Aldates to Cafe Loco.<br />
Here you can have lunch in the cafe or takeaway and enjoy<br />
a picnic just over the road in the beautiful Christ Church<br />
Meadows with views of the River Thames and cows grazing<br />
in the fields. Or, head just 10 minutes’ walk north along<br />
Banbury Road and you will find Gee’s Restaurant and<br />
Bar, a firm favourite with locals and visitors alike situated in<br />
a Grade II listed Victorian Glasshouse and features express<br />
lunches, dishes for sharing and Sunday roasts.<br />
