"Exeter College is located on Turl Street and is the fourth oldest college of Oxford University. It was founded in 1314 by Walter de Stapledon, the Bishop of Exeter, and was originally intended to educate clergymen. The Exeter Chapel is gorgeous, with stained-glass windows wrapped around the walls, beautiful stone columns, and intricate carved wooden seats."
"We visited a number of the colleges, including David’s College, Exeter College and Trinity College. I particularly liked the chapel at Exeter College, arguably one of the most picturesque of all the college chapels, and the gardens at Trinity College was also gorgeous to walk in."

"It's been featured in Vogue and Elle magazine and it's pretty damn sexy with all its designer furniture lurking about. There's a private terrace for special occasions and although it may seem a bit pretentious, it certainly won't fail to impress. If this isn't cosy I don't know what is."
" With its throngs of beautiful people, expansive chesterfield sofas, fat shag-pile rugs and minimalist sense of cool, the last thing you might expect ..."

"The Plough is a part of the Embers Inn, and it has been refurbished in recent years to offer an unmatched atmosphere. The pub is located on the busy Tring Road, but there is ample parking and a large outdoor area, too. During the summer months, The Plough is very busy, so be prepared to wait for a table."
"I use to work here for over three years while i was at College (which was a while ago now) and now it is no longer a Beefeater but a Embers Inn."
"The pub is open 11am – 11pm Sunday through Thursday and Friday and Saturday from 11am to midnight. Meals are offered daily from 11am to 9pm. The food is outstanding, and there is a patio area as well as a beer garden."

"I took the 90 minute walking tour with Oxford Walking Tours whose guides have all attended Oxford University and they run a number of tours throughout the day, which start at the front gate of Trinity College. The tour was excellent and for £12.95 we walked around the major landmarks of Oxford, wound our way through the alleyways where numerous films and TV series such as Morse have been filmed and explored beautiful New College chapel, Great Hall and gardens. The great things about these tours is that you will probably get to explore one or more of the Oxford Colleges, which you would normally need to otherwise pay to visit, so you’re saving a bit of money there too."
