Your Oxford tour itinerary

We begin at the Martyrs' Memorial, a landmark commemorating Protestant martyrs. Nearby the Anglo-Saxon Tower, Oxford’s oldest building, once served as a prison. On Turl Street we find Exeter, Jesus, and Lincoln Colleges, each distinct. At St. Mary's University Church we learn about the Oxford Movement and pause near the spot that allegedly inspired C.S. Lewis' Narnia. Continue on cobbled backstreets past Oriel, Corpus Christi, and Merton Colleges. Once back on the main road to London, we discuss the traditions of The Queens and University Colleges. At Radcliffe Square is Oxford’s first science library and All Souls College. In the Old Schools Quad we discover the Bodleian Library and the grand fifteenth-century Divinity School, known from Harry Potter. If wished, I can organise a visit to the historic Duke Humphrey’s Library. Inside one of Oxford’s oldest colleges we find its tranquil gardens, chapel, and magnificent dining hall—rounding off an immersive journey through the city’s history.
