You'll then take to the road again and make your way to Oxford. On the journey, you'll drive across the edge of The Cotswolds, taking in some lovely scenery as you travel. Oxford is the ‘city of dreaming spires’, medieval colleges and many magnificent old buildings. You'll be able to wander around taking in the colleges, history and architecture of Oxford, as well as learning about the people who helped make its name including Wren, Hawksmoor, Carroll, Tolkein; Alice and Potter!
