Steeped in History
Home to scholars for more than 8 centuries, Oxford is home to the UK's oldest university and an abundance of other historical attractions. Explore Egyptian mummies and modern art at the Ashmolean Museum of Art and Archaeology, delve into the past at the Oxford University Museum of Natural History and the Pitt Rivers Museum, or step back in time and immerse yourself among the Norman ruins of Oxford Castle. Admire the formidable architecture of the City of Spires, take a walk beneath the Bridge of Sighs, and bask in the wonders of the Bodleian Libraries before discovering its eclectic foodie scene, meandering waterways and lush green spaces.
