Oxfordshire

The heart of Oxfordshire is Oxford - known as ‘the city of dreaming spires’- it maintains many of the most historical attractions in England.  Much of this city has been the backdrop for television and film sets and you may get a feeling of déjà vu.

Oxford is packed with ways to explore and learn, why not start with a guided walking tour around the city focusing on literature, film, geography and culture?  Step outside of the city and into the Oxfordshire Cotswolds, a charming blend of bustling market towns, picturesque villages and breathtaking natural scenery and over 6,000 years of history – Oxfordshire has it all.
