I’ve lived in Oxford my whole life and so often fail to appreciate it. For the first time in ages I decided to spend my day off doing taking the time to visit some of my favourite spots. This is how you can spend a day in Oxford.
Firstly I started the day with breakfast at Vault and Gardens, a beautiful cafe below University Church. It’s not the cheapest place, and it can get extremely busy (particularly at lunchtime) but it makes a lovely treat.
Head back onto the High Street for a glimpse of Logic Lane Bridge, everyone tends to head for the bridge of sighs, but I’m quite fond of this tiny covered bridge.
I haven’t been up Carfax Tower for years, I often fail to to appreciate the city I live in but despite the chill the view is always a little bit special.
I love heading to the Ashmolean Museum, I’ve always had a particular interest in the Egyptology exhibits.
I like to head just out of the city centre towards the Jericho area for a stop at George and Davis, the city’s original ice cream café.
A brisk walk through Jericho and across Port Meadow, this walk takes a little over an hour.
Carry on with your walk by aiming for a good pub lunch at The Trout at Godstow.
Mid afternoon and heading back to Jericho to watch a film at the Phoenix Picture House on Walton Street.
Finally after all that walking, a well deserved dinner at Gino’s Spaghetti House on Gloucester Green.

Do you live in Oxford? Have you visited? How would you spend a day?
