Oxford - 1 day

Founded in 1167, Oxford is England's oldest university. Upon arrival we will take you on a walking tour of the famous college buildings, amongst cloisters and quadrangles, along the back streets and into chapels and dining halls and across cobblestone squares standing in the shadows of the famous 'dreaming spires'.

Some of the university colleges that you will see include Christchurch  (the setting for some of the most famous Harry Potter movie scenes), Merton, Oriel, Corpus Christi, Magdalen, University, Queens, All Souls, Hertford, Trinity, Balliol and St John's. The University has 39 independent, autonomous colleges and you will also pass alongside many others on your tour. During your free time, you will be able to wander back and explore at your leisure (subject to opening restrictions).

Other famous landmarks you will cover on the tour include Carfax Tower, Christchurch Meadows, The Examination Schools building, the covered market, the Radcliffe Camera, the Bodleian Library, the Sheldonian Theatre, Martyrs Memorial and the Ashmolean Museum. Again, you will be within walking distance of other sites including the Pitt Rivers Institute, St Michael at Northgate, Magdalen Bridge, The University Museum and many others.

For one of the most fantastic views of Oxford, we include the entrance to the tower of the University Church of St Mary's.

Later in the early afternoon we offer a fantastic free optional tour to Woodstock, location of the magnificent Blenheim Palace. At 3pm we head north out of Oxford to the edge of the Cotswolds to the village of Woodstock with its golden stone cottages and ancient church. There's a feast of history in this pretty town, from the Norman-built former Woodstock Palace, birthplace of the Black Prince, to the time of Edward III and Geoffrey Chaucer to the Dukes of Malborough and the birth and resting place of Sir Winston Churchill. The magnificent Blenheim Palace is one of Britain's largest privately owned houses and lies at the end of Woodstock village. We pay a short visit to the village of Bladon to see the graves of Sir Winston and Lady Churchill before we return to Oxford to collect those who have stayed in the city and continue back to London.
