"Arguably one of Oxford’s most iconic buildings, the Radcliffe Camera (or Rad Cam as it’s known by the students) dominates the picturesque cobbles of Radcliffe Square, in the heart of the city. Built in the early 1700s in the English Palladian style, Radcliffe Camera is part of the Bodleian Library, and is the earliest example of a circular library in the country."
"For me, the most beautiful part was walking through Radcliffe Square, home to the impressive circular Radcliffe Camera. I also loved passing the Bridge of Sighs and the 17th Century Sheldonian Theatre, designed by Sir Christopher Wren – a former student at the university."
"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"
"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"
"On the outskirts of Aylesbury sits the very beautiful Hartwell House and Spa. Despite being leased to the National Trust, the grounds aren’t currently open to the general public and can only be viewed if you are a guest of the hotel. Luckily, that doesn’t mean you have to stay overnight – coffee in the Great Hall is the perfect excuse to visit."
"As a commercial restaurant, Brookes Restaurant is amongst the finest in Oxford. The modern, spacious restaurant won a design award in 1999 and is as suitable for an intimate dinner as it is for a large corporate lunch or private party. The restaurant is managed by dedicated professional staff who are passionate about the food and wine they prepare and serve."
"It may not be quite as famous as the Bodleian Library, but the Randolph remains a landmark destination for visitors to Oxford..."
"Another great place to check out, if you’re looking for lots of variety, is the Gloucester Green Market. Open four days a week (Wednesdays, Thursdays, Fridays, and Saturdays), this multicultural trading spot boasts dozens of enticing street food stalls, with owners from countries as near as France, and as far as Thailand. Take a stroll around all the different stands, and see if your stomach doesn’t rumble at least ten times!"
"food market, Gloucester Green Outdoor Market, is the heart of the city during the latter half of the week. One half of the market sells fresh produce while the other half sells delicious street food. Nearby the less-than-amazing chain restaurants of George Street, a ton of local businesses start serving ready-to-eat authentic world cuisine from 9am."
"For those seeking discounted luxury goods, you might head a bit out of town to Bicester Village which boasts over 100 retail shops. You can get to the shopping village by public bus (about 35 minutes), taxi, or by car (about a 20 minute drive) from Oxford. There is also a dedicated express shuttle from London you can take, which is free for those with a London Pass."
