Most people visiting Oxford for the first time ask “Where is the University? The answer to that is that it’s just about everywhere in the city centre. Find out how the modern university evolved as you visit some truly stunning buildings.
As well as general city tours you may want to take a tour that follows a particular theme. Children’s literature can be explored through the lives of C.S. Lewis and J.R.R. Tolkien, Oxford has many beautiful gardens including the oldest botanic garden in Britain, or you may wish to imagine yourself as an extra in many films and TV shows which were filmed in the city.
Explore the southern Cotswolds on a day trip from the city, or visit Blenheim Palace, the only palace in the UK which is neither a Royal residence nor the home of a bishop. Oxford has good transport links and makes an ideal base for exploring the region.
