Arguably the world's most famous university town, Oxford is graced by superb college architecture and oozes questing youthfulness, scholarship and bizarre high jinks. The views across the meadows to the city's golden spires are guaranteed to appear in 30% of English period dramas, but they manage to remain one of the most beautiful and inspiring of sights. Back in the real world, Oxford is not just the turf of toffs and boffs: it was a major car-manufacturing centre until the terminal decline of the British car industry and is now a thriving centre of service industries. The pick of the colleges are Christ Church, Merton and Magdalen, but nearly all them are drenched in atmosphere, history, privilege and tradition. Don't kid yourself, you wouldn't have studied any harder in such august surroundings. The compact centre of Oxford lies in between the Thames and the Cherwell rivers, just to the north of the point where they join. In theory, and on most maps, the Thames is known within the city as the "Isis", but few locals actually use the term. Central Oxford's principal point of reference is Carfax , a busy junction from where three of the city's main thoroughfares begin: the High Street runs east to Magdalen Bridge and the Cherwell; St Aldate's south to the Thames; and Cornmarket north to the broad avenue of St Giles. Many of the oldest colleges face onto the High Street or the sidestreets adjoining it, their mellow stonework combining to create one of the most beautiful parts of Oxford. Here, as elsewhere in the city, all of the more visited colleges have restricted opening hours to enable them to control the flow of tourists, and some impose an admission charge, too, while others permit no regular public access at all. Of those that do open their doors, opening times are fairly consistent throughout the year, but there are sporadic term-time variations, especially at weekends. It's also worth noting that during the exam season, which stretches from late April to early June, all the colleges have periods when they are closed to the public. For more specific information, call the relevant college. National Express Coaches operates coach services from Oxford to a number of cities. |
