Oxford Walks
Our walking routes take you through the city centre, debunking a myth about the Bridge of Sighs, to Oxford Castle and Prison, and learn about an odd disciplinary regulation about Carfax Tower. Oxford was the birthplace of the “Inklings” which included J.R.R. Tolkien, Maker of Middle Earth; Lewis Carroll, Chaser of the White Rabbit; and C.S. Lewis, Creator of Narnia. See the door that inspired the entrance to Narnia, Alice’s Shop, and the inspiration behind Sauron’s Temple. Walk through some beautiful parks and meadows, such as Christ Church Meadow and University Parks, which are both stunning in any season.
