4 Hours In . . . Oxford.(The Good Life)(Brief article)
Byline: William Underhill
Oxford may be home to a 700-year-old university, but it can offer much more than musty scholarship and antiquity.
Eat at the Cherwell Boathouse, a restaurant almost as well known for its British cuisine as its location beside the River Cherwell. When the meal is over, rent out a traditional punt from the boathouse that shares the premises (cherwell boathouse.co.uk).
Drink traditional "bitter" beer at the Turf Tavern, a medieval pub tucked beneath the old city walls, reached by narrow passages (theturftavern.co.uk).
