Oxford is internationally known as an ancient seat of learning and religion. An established town has existed here since the 9th Century.
"So serene, whispering from her towers the last enchantments of the Middle Ages... the Oxford of the past is the Oxford that will always be."
The University has been the springboard for twenty-two British Prime Ministers as well as numerous artists, scientists and scholars. The well-researched narrative contains allusions to Richard the Lion Heart, Sir Walter Raleigh, Oscar Wilde, Matthew Arnold, Bill Clinton and many more, together with quotes from some of our best poets.
Features: the Colleges of Oxford University, Iffley Road Race Track, Folly Bridge, the Rivers Isis and Thames, Farmoor Reservoir, Boars Hill, Woodstock, Blenheim Palace, Church Hanborough, Freeland, Eynesham Hall, Oakley, Brill, Kidlington Airport, Cowley and Headington.
