The “City of Dreaming Spires” is known for its prestigious and very old universities and colleges, and of course, the birthplace of the Oxford Dictionary, which was so thorough, it took four years to get from “a” to “ant”. Oxford is steeped in history, used as a backdrop for scenes in Harry Potter, and has some stunning scenery in every season. Walk, run, and cycle through some parks and meadows that showcase some beautiful and unique fauna and flora, especially in the springtime. Learn a bit about the Bronze Age history of a meadow and have a peek into the city’s scenic history as it was relatively unharmed during the bombings of WWII. Join us and explore the small but jam-packed city of some impressive alumni, including J.R.R. Tolkien, Emma Watson, and C.S. Lewis.
