Plan a day out in Oxfordshire
We are situated in an enviable position alongside the Southern Oxford Canal, ideal for boaters and walkers. Right by the pub, there’s a convenient bus stop with regular services into Oxford, making it easy to explore the city without the hassle of driving. We’re also just 5 minutes from the stunning Blenheim Palace, perfect for a day trip. If you’re traveling by boat, we’re the first stop on the canal from Oxford. Just across Sparrow Gap Bridge lies the Thrupp Community Forest — a great spot to walk the dog or, if you’re feeling energetic, take on the 4-mile circular walk and get back just in time for lunch (or dinner, if you get lost!).
If you’re looking for things to do near Oxford, there are plenty of great places to visit and activities around Kidlington.
