On Sunday, Ollie and I spent the day out in Oxford. Neither of us had ever been and we thought it would be a ideal day to just jump on a train and try somewhere new! We both absolutely loved it - the old buildings and cobbled streets were typically English and the city had a great atmosphere.
The shopping was pretty good too. A huge choice of shops - from high street brands to individual traders - made it seem a bit more varied compared to the usual shopping trips I take. We must have walked miles.
Taking a walk around the university grounds and park added a bit more variety to our day, and was only a minute's walk from the lively high-street. There was also opportunity to go on a selection of tours, but we thought we'd do a bit of adventuring ourselves!
There was more than enough choice when it came to food as well, with every restaurant chain you could possibly think of in addition to the many local pubs and restaurants. We ended up at Byron Proper Hamburgers and it definitely did not disappoint. I went for the 'Byron', a medium cooked burger with bacon, cheese, american sauce and salad - it is probably the best burger I have ever tasted. Oh, and their milkshakes are to die for!
I would 100% recommend Oxford for a beautiful day out or weekend getaway.
