Oxford —
Although there’s more to Oxford than Oxford University, the prestigious academic institution is very much the city’s defining feature. The university dates back to the 11th century and is home to the magnificent Bodleian Library, with the distinctive Radcliffe Camera and the world-class Ashmolean Museum. For history, heritage and sheer awe-inspiring features, visit Christchurch College with its gorgeous grounds or take a stroll around Magdalen’s private deer park.
As befits a city of students and professors, Oxford is one of the last bastions of the great British pub. Drink up in the same traditional pubs as literary greats like J.R Tolkein in Lewis Carroll, or head further afield to The Perch or delightful Isis Farmhouse on the riverside. Make the most of your stay by renting punts or rowing boats for a unique way to sightsee around the city.
Shopping is definitely on the agenda for many visitors, as Bicester Village and its designers' outlets are only a short train journey. Those looking to stay within the town centre will no doubt enjoy the spoils of the Covered Market, Blackwell’s of Oxford bookshop and the contemporary Westgate Centre.
