"And that sweet City with her dreaming spires,
she needs not June for beauty's heightening"
Matthew Arnold
Welcome to a pictorial tour of Oxford, home of the oldest university in the country
There are several ways of browsing this web site. Visitors are invited to take either a virtual walking tour, or for quicker access to a specific college click here. Other areas of interest can be seen during the walking tours or from the menu on the other places of interest page.
Authors note: In a City such as Oxford it would be impossible to cover every building or area of interest completely, I have therefore concentrated on the colleges and the better known buildings and landmarks leaving the visitor upon arriving in Oxford to discover for their selves the hidden gems that make up Oxford.
I would recommend the following places of interest should be included during any visit to Oxford. Christ Church and Magdelan Colleges. The Ashmolium Museum, The Oxford Story and a guided tour with either Guide Friday Ltd or Classic Tours.
For best results this site should be viewed at a screen resolution of 1024 x 768 pixels
