Oxford
is one of the most remarkable cities in Europe, being totally built around
its ancient university.
For 700 years, it has not been really possible to see where the city ends
and the university begins.
The major part of the small centre is taken up by the medieval and renaissance
buildings - an unparalleled cluster of architecture, and all within an
area of 600yds by 600yds.
At its heart is the Radcliffe Camera - set in one of the most beautiful
squares in the western world.
The
beauty of Oxford lies not only in its buildings but also in their grouping.
The view across Christ Church meadows to the line of colleges which forms
the southern edge of the city is an urban prospect of rare power.
The High Street justifies its reputation as one of the finest streets
in the world, as does the wide expanse of Broad Street - flanked by the
Bodleian Library and Sheldonian Theatre on one side, and Trinity College
on the other. The college buildings are often viewed across and through
centuries-old gardens.
City of Dreaming Spires may be a cliche, but there is truth in
it.
We are ideally situated in this historic university city of Oxford and on the edge of the Cotswolds with its many quaint villages and varied attractions.
Woodstock village, with its antique shops, tea-houses, cafes, restaurants and bars is only 15 minutes away. Blenheim Palace and its beautifully landscaped grounds are located alongside Woodstock.
Warwick Castle, Windsor Castle, Stratford-upon-Avon, Burford and Cheltenham are all around 40 minutes away.
In addition, many National Trust properties such as Waddesdon Manor are all within easy reach.
We are located on a main bus route into central Oxford with buses every 5 minutes. Buses to Central London, Heathrow and Gatwick Airports are every 20 minutes.
