Oxford in a day
The Bodleian, Christ Church, the Radcliffe Camera, and a riverside pub.
Oxford has been a university town for 900 years. Thirty-eight colleges crowd the city centre, joined by the Bodleian Library (the second-largest in Britain), the Ashmolean (the oldest museum in the country), and a thousand pubs that have served undergraduates for centuries. A long day is enough to see the highlights and walk to a Magdalen-meadow pub for dinner.
