Oxford: The City of Dreaming Spires. Once you’ve arrived, it won’t take you long to understand how this historic city gained its nickname. Oxford is famous for its university, and it is the spires of these college buildings which create the beautiful jagged skyline of towers and churches.
The city is a treasure trove for sightseeing; where else could you explore cloistered mediaeval colleges, photograph The Bodleian, one of the world’s oldest libraries, and follow in the footsteps of Daniel Radcliffe at one of the many Harry Potter filming locations, all in one morning! Because Oxford is a thriving student town, you will also find no end of cosy cafes, hip restaurants and bustling bars. And no trip to the city would be complete without a stop at The Eagle and Child pub, the drinking establishment frequented by C.S. Lewis, J.R.R. Tolkein and countless other movers and shakers since it opened in the 17th century.
If you love history and want to see where some of the world’s greatest minds were inspired, visit Oxford!
