Top 35 Places to Visit in Oxford and Oxfordshire
"But it's a very tasty leek and potato, the real artisan bread (50p) lives up to the billing, and, I suppose, local, organic ingredients – vegetables from nearby Worton Organic Garden – don't come cheap. Elsewhere on the enticing menu, notable for its excellent veggie options, you'll find dishes such as spiced chickpea tagine with roasted butternut squash, green olives and rosemary; puy lentil and goat's cheese gratin, with marinaded aubergine and roasted red peppers; or organic beef lasagne (mains served with salad, brown rice, potatoes etc.) The location also plays a big part in the Vaults' popularity. It's housed in a 14th-century hall, the "congregation house", built as Oxford University's original administrative centre, within the University Church of St Mary the Virgin, while the gardens – actually the graveyard – look out on to the famous circular Radcliffe Camera library and several university colleges."
"Set in the very heart of Oxford, the University Church of St Mary the Virgin is home to the Vaults & Garden café. The surrounding landscape features the University Church gardens, the Radcliffe Camera (an 18th Century building designed to host the science library) and Brasenose College. The café has a focus on fresh, organic food and the promotion of healthy living and sustainability."
"A post shared by Vaults & Garden Cafe (@vaultsandgardencafe) on May 22, 2018 at 4:57am PDT. Being sat right next to the Radcliffe Camera, this is definitely a good spot for visitors who want a brunch with a view. It’s be a great spot for Spring and Summer as they have seating outside."
"This is one of my all-time favourite restaurants in Oxford with outside seating. It’s located on the top floor of the Ashmolean Museum with lots of natural light and better yet, a roof terrace for outdoor drinks in Oxford. I’ve listed this as an outdoor Oxford restaurant but it’s also ideal for cocktails with lovely views."
"The Ashmolean Rooftop Restaurant is located on the top floor of the Ashmolean Museum so during the day when the Museum is open, access to the restaurant is via the Museum's main..."
"Usefully situated at the stop of Cornmarket, this is an ideal place to work. There are a few seating areas to choose from, all open plan and split up by overhead beams. Like many this one is no exception and gets pretty busy in the afternoon."
"Festooned with pot plants, knick-knacks and bunting, this whitewashed ex-factory unit is a bar, art gallery and restaurant. Two cask pumps carry traditional beers from local brewers (on this occasion, Vale), while the Factory’s 12 keg lines feature the likes of Brewdog’s 5am, benchmark wheat beers from Schneider Weisse and Weihenstephan, and eight beers (including a Jam Factory stout) from Cotswold Brewing Company. A sizeable bottled collection covers similar familiar territory, mixing core Belgian classics (Orval, Rochefort, Chimay etc) with familiar craft imports from Brooklyn, Einstök and Goose Island."
"This unique venue is a restaurant, bar and also an art gallery, set in a huge building which was previously a marmalade factory. Therefore, there are lots of different areas to drink and dine in, including a really pretty courtyard for the summer. Moreover, there are always lots of events happening at this creative hub too, from live music to life drawing classes."
"It features two beer pumps, 12 keg lines and a sizeable collection of beer bottles from famous names such as Orval, Einstok and Goose Island. Don’t expect to be surprised by their assortment of beers, but be sure that you will be enjoying high quality brews. A pint here starts from £4."
"Keble is one of the larger colleges at Oxford and is distinctive among the colleges for its neo-gothic brick buildings. It was designed by William Butterfield and built in 1870. While the brick design has always been controversial, it makes for a strikingly different college that is impressive to see."
"Keeble looks different to the other Oxford colleges with their golden stone. Keble is built with red brick and is spread across large, open ground. It has less of a cosy feel than some of the others but is visually just as striking."
"Most of the other colleges such as Balliol, New College, Brasnose, Trinity, Merton or Oriel only cost around £2 and this may include a leaflet or plan of the college, while others are free to visit, so it’s worth venturing inside and enquiring at the porter’s lodge. Magdalen College Oxford"
"Magdalen College—pronounced “Maudlin”—is one of the most storied and scenic colleges at Oxford University. Founded in 1458, it’s known for its lofty Magdalen Tower, its choral associations, and the celebrated figures who once walked its halls, including C.S. Lewis, Oscar Wilde, and Sir John Betjeman."
"Turn left to reach Magdalen College (01865 276000) – pronounced ‘mawd-lin’ – one of Oxford’s most prestigious colleges. Start your evening by attending evensong here (check for dates and times here), a spine-tingling, candle-lit choral service in the ornate college chapel."
"Guarding access to a breathtaking expanse of private lawns, woodlands, river walks and even its own deer park, Magdalen ('mawd-lin'), founded in 1458, is one of Oxford’s wealthiest and most beautiful colleges.... Top ChoiceMuseum in Jericho & Science Area"
