Oxford Tour
Oxford University is the most famous university in the world. The sites and architectural treasures in Oxford city are almost too numerous to mention – they include The Bodleian Library, The Ashmolean Museum, The Botanic Gardens and Christ Church Cathedral, to mention but a few.
Boat trips or punting on the River Thames, entertaining guided walking tours and open-top bus tours take in the city’s architecture and introduce Oxford's heritage.
Poet Matthew Arnold affectionately named Oxford ‘The City of Dreaming Spires’, in reference to the complex architecture of the colleges which make up Oxford University. On the Oxford tour, at the very centre of the city you are surrounded by walls that have stood for 800 years.
History is at the very heart of Oxford, with the ancient buildings seen on tour, the monuments, museums and art galleries. In 1843 a Martyrs memorial was built to Cranmer, Ridley and Latimer; heretics burnt during the reign of "Bloody Mary"
Inspired by the Thames flowing through Oxford, Lewis Carroll wrote the famous stories of Alice in Wonderland where Alice’s shop in Through the Looking Glass was based on the shop opposite Christ Church in Oxford. Other notable novels written in and inspired by the beauty of Oxford include The Chronicles of Narnia, The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings. More recently Oxford has provided the backdrop for a number of movies including Harry Potter and the Golden Compass.
