Join us as we travel back through more than a thousand years
of Oxford's dramatic history. See what tales of riots
and plague, bloody sieges, religious persecution and
civil war belie the gentle image of this modern
university city.
There is hardly a strand of human endeavour that has not
been shaped at one time or other by men and women who
have lived and studied in Oxford. We survey the
contribution that has been made to science, religion and
the arts by Oxford's 'famous faces'.
We guide you through the heart of the old University,
take you to some well known and some not so well known
colleges and reveal to you some of the most famous views
of Oxford, including the three best aerial
views of the domes and spires.
Unique to the Scholar's Guide! A free
Pocket Guide that you can download, print and bring
along with you when you visit Oxford.
