A jaunt along the Thames is one of the best ways to see the sights of Oxford.

The university can proudly boast that it's the oldest in England, and its beautiful architecture and the vibrant activity on the river make for a delightful cruise.

On your trip you'll take the same route as the university's regatta course, bringing you towards the picturesque Iffley village. You'll also get to meet plenty of locals and students on the stretch of river that locals call The Isis.

Entry requirement: Infants under 1 that can sit on their parents' lap can join for free.
