Oxford is
a beautiful city of
stunning architecture,
history and culture. Youll
find ancient and modern
colleges, fascinating museums
and galleries, and plenty of
parks, gardens and green spaces
in which to relax. Plus, the city
centre is small enough to cover on
foot, and only a few minutes walk
from the main rail and coach stations.
