Punting is a classic English boating activity of propelling a flat-bottomed boat, called a punt, along a river or canal. This is all done manually with a long pole to push against the riverbed. It’s a popular pastime, especially in the UK, particularly in university towns like Cambridge and Oxford.
Historically, punting was used to transport goods across the water. Today, it’s a leisurely activity to enjoy. Punting in Cambridge is especially beautiful because of the sights along the riverside.
