Hello and welcome back to my channel!
In this episode, I talk about the #history of the city #Oxford. Famed for its university, the #UniversityofOxford, this unique city is an architectural delight. It is not a particulary big city so you only need a few days to explore this city. There is more to this city than what I have included in this video so I hope you find something you like! A lot of the museums are free to visit so do check them out. I also recommend the sighseeing buses (also called hop-on-hop-off) bus tours if you want to travel around the city with a live guide. There are a few companies that offer this scheme and the hop-on-hop-off company is the one I used. They run the red double decker tour buses.
Places of interest: Oxford Castle and Prison, Christ Church College and Cathedral, Ashmolean Musuem Oxford, Oxford Musuem of Natural History, Pitt Rivers Museum, Oxford Botanic Garden and Bodleian Library
Oxford also has a connection to #lotr and #narnia as J.R.R. Tolkein and C.S. Lewis worked at the University of Oxford as collegues and as Professors. They often exchanged ideas in the local Oxford pub 'The Eagle and the Child' that is situated in St Giles Street. Do visit if you can.
The Oxford Visitor Information website has information on all the attractions in Oxford so do check them out. They also have hotel and restaurant recommendations that cater for everyone.
