oxford


Oxford, situated in central southern England, is renowned for its eminent university, founded in the 12th century. The city's medieval heart is distinguished by the architecture of its 38 colleges, inspiring poet Matthew Arnold to dub it the 'City of Dreaming Spires'. Notably, University College and Magdalen College are located just off the High Street, which extends from Carfax Tower, offering panoramic city views, to the Botanic Garden beside the River Cherwell.
