Historic Oxford
Oxfordshire
The city of Oxford is an unforgettable and lively fusion of the contemporary and the historic. Modish bars, restaurants and high street stores blend in delightfully with antique shops, some of the world's most renowned bookshops and a traditional covered market. Regulars in the city's traditional pubs have included C.S Lewis and J.R.R Tolkein.
Visit the Museum of Oxford and the Oxford Story to uncover centuries of history surrounding the city and its ancient university.
Punting on the Isis has long been a popular summer activity in Oxford and many people find a walking tour to be an excellent introduction to the city. Fancy a more relaxing trip? Then step on board one of Oxford's ubiquitous open top tour buses.
For those wanting to sit back and bask in the peace that a city like Oxford brings, there are plenty of parks and meadows in and around the city. Take a picnic, admire the views and end the day with a relaxing waterside walk.
