One of the most beautiful colleges - go in sunshine, when the stone is golden, the fritillaries are in bloom and the trees are coming into leaf. Go and look at the deer. Look at the mistletoe. Stroll around Addison's Walk (and don't miss C.S,Lewis's poem on the plaque). A wonderful place! More

We've lived in Oxford since the mid 90's and we are slowly working our way around the Oxford Colleges as part of our family "to do" list.

This is an oasis in the centre of bustling Oxford and is... More

When you enter the porters lodge from high street, pay a small fee and ask for a guide to the college. I loved the guide for giving me a bit of the college's history (founded around 1500, when most of what you see today was constructed) and it will bring you into the church to see a beautiful chapel, and...

It's one of the best things to see in Oxford but I found Cambridge more beautiful than Oxford. More
