Video Discription |
Join me for a walk around the legendary city of Oxford, best-known as the home of the oldest university in the English-speaking world! But along with the wealth of colleges and striking university buildings to be found around the city, there's even more to Oxford, from its role in the English Civil War to serving as the place where a number of works of fiction were inspired!
On our walk around Oxford, we pass countless interesting landmarks, just a few of which include Christ Church, Christ Church Cathedral, Alice's Shop, Tom Tower, St. Aldate's Church, Oxford Town Hall, Carfax Tower, High Street, Oxford Covered Market, Lincoln College, Brasenose College, the University Church of St. Mary the Virgin, Magpie Lane, Merton College, Corpus Christi College, University College, the Examinations Schools, Magdalen College, Queen's Lane, All Souls' College, the Radcliffe Camera, the Bodleian Library, the Bridge of Sighs, the Clarendon Building, the Sheldonian Theatre, the White Horse Pub, Balliol College, the site of the execution of the Oxford Martyrs, the Martyrs' Memorial, The Randolph Hotel, the Ashmolean Museum, St. Mary Magdalene Church, Cornmarket Street, St. Peter at the Northgate Church, Queen Street, Oxford County Hall and Oxford Castle and Prison.
