Hire a punt and take turns pushing each other along the Cherwell, past the Botanic Garden and Christ Church Meadow or up through the parks to the north.
Why it's a good date: Wobbly, funny and very Oxford, and it's fine to be terrible at it. Bring a picnic and a bottle, and if neither of you fancies the pole, book a chauffeured punt instead.
