One of the world’s most famous university cities, Oxford is a beautiful, privileged place.
It is steeped in history and studded with prestigious buildings, yet maintains the feel of a young city, thanks to its large student population. The elegant honey-toned buildings of the university’s colleges, scattered throughout the city, wrap around tranquil courtyards along narrow cobbled lanes, and, inside their grounds, a studious calm reigns. The city’s famed spires twirl into the sky above.
Oxford is a wonderful place to wander: the oldest colleges date back to the 13th century, and little has changed inside the hallowed walls since.
Walking around historic Oxford you almost feel Harry, Hermione and Ron right behind you in some magical parallel universe! Oxford locations (Christ Church College, the Bodleian Library and New College) famously feature in many of the early Harry Potter films helping to create the iconic gothic backdrop that became the unmistakable Hogwarts school of Witchcraft and Wizardry!
Oxford's fascinating mix of history and culture makes it an excellent destination for a school trip. Of course, it's most famous for its world-class university, which showcases some of England’s finest architecture. The city also has some excellent museums, beautiful green areas and interesting shops and markets.
"A wonderfully organised trip from start to finish, and the communication and help didn't stop on the day of departure; staff were on hand to assist throughout our trip. Thank you to Cara in particular who has been available and helpful from the start."
