Spring break is a time for students to relax and enjoy their time off from their studies. For some, that means travelling to a far-off destination, while for others, it’s a trip down the road to a charming town. For those who prefer to stay closer to home, Oxfordshire offers plenty of opportunities for fun and relaxation.

Let’s explore a few fun activities to do for spring break in Oxfordshire.

Enjoy the parks

If you’re an outdoor enthusiast, then you’ll love the countless local parks in the area. Many of these parks have wonderful hiking and biking trails for those who like to break a sweat. For a more relaxed experience, you can soak up the fresh air in the picnic areas and playgrounds.

Visit Oxford

The historic town of Oxford is bustling with activity, even during spring break when students are on vacation. There are plenty of beautiful buildings that showcase grand architecture, such as the Sheldonian Theatre and Christ Church. Each building has its own charm and magical allure.

Explore Stratford-upon-Avon

Stratford-upon-Avon is slightly further away, but the hour-long drive is worth every minute. There are various shopping, dining and cultural attractions in the historical town. Loved as the birthplace of Shakespeare, Stratford-upon-Avon is a must-visit for literature enthusiasts.

Relax in the area’s beloved gardens

If you’ve had a busy term and you want to relax, then you can choose from a wide selection of Oxfordshire’s world-famous gardens. Green spaces such as Blenheim Palace, Hidcote Manor Garden, and Westonbirt Arboretum are all worth a visit, either as a solo student or with a group of friends.

Calke Abbey in Ticknall is a lesser-known garden that’s full of special surprises including an impressive forest and rare attractions like the monkey puzzle tree.

Cotswold Wildlife Park

If you’re a wildlife enthusiast, then Cotswold Wildlife Park is the perfect place for you. Cotswold Wildlife Park is home to over 1 500 animals from all around the world. The park offers an interactive experience that’s fun and educational at the same time.

There are plenty of activities for you to enjoy during spring break in Oxfordshire. Whether you’re looking for a relaxing day in a beautiful garden or a deep dive into the historical beauty that surrounds the area – you’re in for a treat.

Highly recommend this company! I recently moved and needed to store some items and was unsure where to store as I wanted to make sure it was close by but also very secure. I contacted this company and to spoke to Holly who was so welcoming and helped me decide what size would be better for me by allowing me access to see the units. The level of security in the premises is fantastic with cameras at every corner! I decided in the end to go with a 50ft storage and then dealt with both Helen and Jeremy who explain each step what happens moving forward and made sure that I would get access on the date that suited me. The process I thought was going to be long and added stress for me, however all 3 took that stress away! Thank you again!

Easy peasy. Nice people to deal with; all my (probably, very silly) questions were answered quickly and clearly, and the follow up to check that my move went smoothly was a nice finishing touch.
