Described as ‘one of the world’s great streets’, you’ll have the chance to capture stunning scenery and see the colleges and more.

• University Church of St. Mary the Virgin - This Anglican church is celebrated for its elegant spire, considered one of the most beautiful in England. Gargoyles and statues adorn the spire, and parts of the church’s stained glass windows date back to the Renaissance era.

Founded over 500 years ago, the church was the site of the heresy trials for the Oxford Martyrs in 1555. Visitors can find Cranmer’s Pillar, which commemorates the martyrs of the Reformation period.

• All Souls College - Officially known as the College of the Souls of All the Faithful Departed, this college was founded by King Henry VI in 1483.

As you look up at the Bodleian, you may hear passing scholars refer to it as ‘the Bodley’ or simply ‘the Bod’.

• Bridge of Sighs - Be sure to snap a photo of this striking landmark, one of Oxford’s most popular sights.

• Hertford College - This college was famously the first of Oxford’s all-male colleges to accept female students in 1974. The iconic Bridge of Sighs links two of the college’s buildings for students to pass through.

Its coat of arms features a hart’s head (a male red deer) and a Templar cross.

Today, the theatre is used primarily for concerts, lectures, and ceremonies.
