Oxford
Explore our world-famous medieval city and lose yourself in the meandering alleys of old. Paul is a mine of local information, so you won’t miss out on any of Oxford’s beautiful sights or secrets. Here is a preview of what you will find!
Geographically, Oxford is an island city in the midst of the River Thames. The great cities of London and Birmingham are but an hour away. Blenheim Palace and Windsor Castle are nearby and the Cotswolds are close at hand. Once out of the city limits, the countryside offers easy access to beautiful scenery and villages.
Known as one of Britain’s elite-university cities, Oxford is a beautiful ancient city. It is steeped in history and studded with medieval buildings. Yet, thanks to its large student population, it maintains the feel of a young city. The elegant honey-toned buildings of Oxford University’s colleges wrap around tranquil courtyards and along narrow cobbled lanes. Inside their grounds a studious calm reigns. The city’s famed dreaming spires rise into the sky above.
Oxford is a wonderful place to wander: the oldest colleges date back to the 13th century and little has changed inside the hallowed walls. Alongside the rich history, traditions and energetic academic life there is a busy, lively world beyond – the city’s non-university population far outnumbers its academics. Oxford’s “Town” adds a unique dynamism to its “Gown” guaranteeing Oxford continues to be more than just a bookish place of learning.
A cultural hot-bed, the music scene is lively with classical concerts, top-notch jazz and a rocking band-scene (notable local bands include Radiohead, Supergrass, The Foals and Ride). As well as the many live music venues five theatres stage big, west-end hits as well as specialist arthouse productions – and that’s not to forget lovely outdoor summer productions!
