Broad Street, Oxford OX1 3UK
How far: 3 miles
With over 900 years as a seat of learning, most sightseers to the city come
to see the buildings and quadrangles of the 39 colleges that comprise
Oxford University. Perhaps the most popular of these are Christchurch,
Magdalen and Trinity College. Visitors in Spring can enjoy college boat races,
or from April onwards there is cruising on the Thames and punting on the
Cherwell. Any trip to Oxford should ideally begin with a guided walking tour
or bus tour of the city. A wide variety of tours cater for all tastes - one can
enjoy the Oxford University and City Tour, or Inspector Morse Tour or the
more daring might take the evening Ghost Tour of the city. Contact Oxford
Walking Tours for details, their University educated guides come with years
of experience and local knowledge of the City and University.
