| Walking tour of historic Oxford Venture into the grounds of one of the many Oxford colleges; follow in the footsteps of your favourite historical, literary or fictional characters; or just enjoy the architecture of one of the most beautiful cities in the world. Your guides will delight in recounting interesting facts and amuse all ages with stories as you explore this ancient seat of learning. |

| University Parks Refresh the senses with a short circuit around University Parks, which can be undertaken in 20 minutes. View the beautifully manicured lawns, occupied by students, townspeople or (in the summer) cricketers.
