Punting on a summers evening on the River Churwell , Oxford, England, UK. With enchanting scenic views and winding ancient waterways, punting in Oxford has long been a tradition of locals and tourists alike. Punts are a flat-bottomed boat and punting is the act of propelling the boat along the water using a long stick to push the bottom of the river. It’s thought that Oxford’s favourite pastime began around 1860, and, today, it’s an Oxford University tradition to go punting after graduation.
