Exploring the city of Oxford solo

When you’re looking to take your adventure away from the hot spots of Oxford, plug in your earphones and discover its quieter locations.

Away from the crowds of the city centre, self-guided routes down Castle Mill Stream or along the River Thames and into Osney are some of the best ways to cherish your time in Oxford in the peace of your own company.

Even exploring by yourself, with the app downloaded, you’ll still get plenty of intriguing insights into parts of the city you never would’ve known otherwise. 

Plus, there’ll be a fair few helpful pointers along the way, guiding you to the perfect spots for some incredible photo opportunities.

The freedom to explore at your own pace

Oxford is a remarkable city, where history and the modern collide in one beautiful collaboration.

You’ll spot all your regular favourite shopfronts lining the impressive high street but then turn a corner and the city’s character emerges.

The ability to hop-on and hop-off at your own leisure means you get to explore at your own pace.

See a street that compels you to wander from your guide for a moment? Go for it.

Then when you’re done, all you have to do is look for the next guide coming by, and you can start where you left off.

If you’ve never been to Oxford before, whether you’re in town for a few hours or you’ve got a whole weekend ahead of you – having a decent idea of where to go and what to do means a moment won’t go by that’s wasted.
