City of Spires ~ Oxford

Oxford is a city of dreamy spires. Spires can be seen everywhere. It has been a gathering place for scholars for 800 years and is home to Britain's oldest university, botanic gardens and pub. It is surrounded by Gothic spires and listed buildings. Add to that the cobbled alleys, canals and the odd punt along the river and it’s breathtakingly beautiful. While Oxford is filled with museums, libraries and galleries, there's so much more to this gem than its beauty and towering intellect. Harry Potter fans can find movie locations, shoppers will love the nearby bargains, and foodies will salivate over its lip-smacking selection. If that wasn’t enough, it sits on the doorstep of the Chilterns, the Cotswolds and the Baroque countryside at Blenheim Palace.
