Reach for the sun cream and flip flops, summer\u2019s finally here! For some, you\u2019ll have the next few weeks planned and a whole host of activities organised to keep you busy until term starts again in September. From jam-packed festivals and group holidays abroad, to visiting family and lazy afternoons in the park. And for others, you\u2019re probably just relieved that the exam period is over and you can finally enjoy some freedom. So, what are you going to do?<\/p>\n

Visit Oxford<\/h3>\n

If you haven\u2019t yet made any plans, then why not visit the beautiful city of Oxford during the summer months? Located in the South East of England in the county of Oxfordshire, Oxford is a city packed with historic buildings and stunning architecture – which has led it to be nicknamed the \u2018City of Dreaming Spires\u2019. With academia at its core and home to the oldest university in the English-speaking world \u2013 The University of Oxford, it\u2019s a city known worldwide with lots to see and do\u2026<\/p>\n

Stay at The Mews<\/h3>\n

But, first thing\u2019s first, you\u2019ll need a place to stay. If you\u2019re still looking for summer accommodation<\/a>, then fear not, we have a mixture of en-suite rooms and studios available at The Mews<\/a> throughout the summer months for you to call home \u2013 even if you\u2019re not a student! And with prices starting at just \u00a3170 per week (that\u2019s less than \u00a325 a night), it\u2019s the perfect solution for an affordable city break.<\/p>\n

Located south east of the city centre, our accommodation is right on the doorstep \u2013 and within walking distance, of the vibrant Cowley Road. As the main shopping street and leisure district in the east of the city, you\u2019ll find endless shops, bars, restaurants, coffee shops, music venues and the like on Cowley Road; keeping you entertained for hours.<\/p>\n

While we all love a bite to eat and a bit of window shopping, there is so much more to see in Oxford than just the retail and hospitality outlets. When the sun\u2019s shining, spend an afternoon relaxing on the city\u2019s waterways \u2013 from hiring a punt to taking a ride on a steamer, take in the surrounding scenery from the water.<\/p>\n

Explore the City<\/h3>\n

Feeling active? Take in some fresh air with a tour of the city either on bike or by foot. Whether you choose to go on a guided tour or pick up a map from the visitor centre and take your own tour, it\u2019s a wonderful way to get around Oxford, get up close to the golden-stone buildings and see things no bus tour will show you!<\/p>\n

If there\u2019s one thing Oxford isn\u2019t short of, it\u2019s green space. Take a walk through the grassy fields and cross the river onto the Thames towpath at Port Meadow, discover hundreds of species of animals at Cotswold Wildlife Park or enjoy a haven of peace in Britain\u2019s oldest botanic garden.<\/p>\n

And why not combine diverse history, striking architecture and stunning landscapes with a visit to Blenheim Palace? Residence of the Dukes of Marlborough and birth place of Sir Winston Churchill, Blenheim Palace is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Visitors can explore the palace, take a guided tour, enjoy picture-perfect views from the palace\u2019s grounds including the park, the formal gardens and the pleasure gardens. Throughout the year there are a number of events<\/a> held at the Palace and surrounding ground such as Battle Proms Picnic Concert, Luna Open Air Cinema and a Summer Jousting Tournament.<\/p>\n

If that wasn\u2019t enough to keep you occupied then you\u2019ll also find a crocodile zoo, a number of museums, a castle, escape games, mazes and many more fun and interesting things to do. For more information on visiting Oxfordshire see here<\/a>.<\/p>\n
