Historic Oxford & Classy Cotswolds
Day 2 was a celebration of heritage and tradition, perfectly mirroring the values of Mazda. Our drive took us to the historic city of Oxford, where we strolled through its antic streets and soaked in the atmosphere of this emblematic place. We ended the day in the Cotswolds, a region that’s the very picture of English charm, with its rolling hills and stone cottages. It was a day filled with simple pleasures, scenic drives, and the discovery of England’s timeless beauty.
Stunning Magdalen College - Oxford
Stepping through the gates of Magdalen College, Oxford, is like wandering into a place where time stands still. Take a stroll by the River Cherwell, maybe spot a few deer chilling in the park, and perhaps even catch the choir doing their thing – it’s pretty cool.
A 10-15 minutes walk will take you to the market
Lunch at Oxford Covered Market
Can you believe Oxford’s Covered Market is turning 250 this year? That’s a quarter of a millennium! . As you wander through its vibrant alleys, you’re walking the same paths as generations before you. Talking about lunch – it’s a must-do! You can opt for the traditional fish and chips, or you can try the Oxford sausage, the local specialty that's been around since the 18th century. Got a sweet tooth? The Banbury cake is a must; fruity and spicy at the same time. What else than pairing your dish with a local pint? Cheers to Covered Market's 250th anniversary!
