A Weekend in Oxford: A 48-hour itinerary – On the Luce travel blog
"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."
"Nestled along pretty Turl Street is Exeter College, one of the oldest in Oxford dating back to 1314. It has a sizeable quad with ancient buildings set around a green square. Entrance is free and the doorway can be found across from Missing Bean, one of the best coffee shops in Oxford."
"Exeter College is the fourth oldest college of Oxford University. It was established in 1314 by Walter de Stapledon of Devon, Bishop of Exeter. Originally, it was a school dedicated to the education of clergymen."
"The younger sister of The Duke of Cambridge, The House opened in 2009 and has firmly propelled itself onto every list of the best bars in Oxford. It’s no surprise seeing as it’s the same guys who run The Duke – over 30 years of expertise has brought the bar to life. But it would be a mistake to think The House is a simple replica of it’s older sibling."
"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."
"This superb example of a Georgian garden was created for the Temple family by the most famous gardeners of the 18th century. Capability…"
"Turrill Sculpture Garden holds six exhibitions each year that are designed to be varied: those that encourage children to be creative, group exhibitions of local sculptors and national level sculptors in solo exhibitions. Find your nearest bus stops"
"Oxford Playhouse sits opposite the Ashmolean Museum and plays host to some excellent acting talent. You’ll be able to see top-notch drama, akin to that found in London, but at reduced Oxford prices. There’s a huge array of performances here from drama to musicals to comedy to dance – you name it!"
"If you intend to see a show or performance while in town, you should check the listings at the individual theaters (such as the Oxford Playhouse and the Old Fire Station) and buy your tickets in advance. Explore Oxford’s Gardens & Parks"
"In the centre of town sits King’s Head, a former coaching house dating back to 1455. While the stables are now used as a National Trust exhibition, The Farmer’s Bar is very much still a hubbub of social activity. The bar is well stocked with draught ales from the local Chiltern Brewery – a pint of Beechwood Bitter proving to be the most popular – and wines from the Rothschild Estate (home to Aylesbury’s most prominent family)."
"King’s Head is a local hotspot, and it’s run by the Chiltern Brewery, so you’ll find the bar stocked with ale from Chiltern. The pub is open from 11am to 11pm Monday through Saturday, and the pub stays open from noon to 10:30 pm on Sunday. Food service is available all week long."
"This gorgeous cafe serves locally roasted coffee & the most beautiful homemade cakes, including Emily’s famous salted caramel brownies. Check out their new cafe opening on King Edward Street TOMORROW 28/06/18!"
"Barefoot Bakery is perhaps my all-time favorite café in Oxford…and I dare say one of the all-time best Oxford cafés."
"For instance the 70-acre University Park offers a great place to walk and stretch your legs, watch a free cricket game, or spy on the ducks at the duck pond. You’ll also find several other parks and meadows in the area, including the oldest botanical garden in England. The Oxford Botanic Garden & Arboretum was founded back in 1621!"
