- England Explored -
 

Perhaps one of the more important UK tours for those of an academic or literary persuasion but also those who love beautiful (and very old) places.

​

Oxford

​

Here among the ‘Dreaming Spires’ we find the forty-four colleges of perhaps the world’s most famous university, founded as far back as 1096

.

England’s and indeed the world’s history was made by so many that passed this way; scientists who changed the way we lived like Albert Einstein and Tim Berners-Lee, great writers who changed the way we thought about our lives, from Shelley through Tolkien to Dorothy L Sayers and Phillip Pullman, for whom Oxford itself serves as a muse. Oxford has also provided Great Britain with 30 of its Prime Ministers and educated leaders from countries across the globe.

​

Backdrop and setting for many a famous film (including Harry Potter of course) and home to many of the brightest and best young minds the world over, Oxford is a beautiful and fascinating place to spend time.

​

Pause to admire the fantastic Radcliffe Camera or visit the Bodleian, probably the most famous and imposing library in the world. Have a browse around the cosy covered market or visit a particular collage that is of interest. Many are open or grant admission for a small fee.

Let us know in advance of anywhere you’d particularly like to visit, the old haunts of a loved one or famous writer, the location of a favourite film scene perhaps.
