Oxford, United Kingdom + Add a trip

Go for a tour of the colleges - many of the 30+ are great fun to explore, and if you can, try to avoid the crowds of Christ Church and get into some of the less popular but no less magnificent ones like Magdalen, St. John's or Merton.

If you're interested in local events and activities, the #1 place to check is Daily Info (who I am not affiliated with but make use of often): http://www.dailyinfo.co.uk/

Defnitely a tour of the Colleges. Magdalen, Christ Church, Queen's College, Worcester...

The Museum of the History of Science is a must see if you're in any way geeky.

Take a walk through Jericho, then head to the river. On the opposite bank is a pub / restaurant called The Perch (http://www.the-perch.co.uk/) which is fabulous - open fire, leather sofas, friendly staff, good food. You can follow the river up north. After about 2 miles you get to Wolvercote where you find another pub / restaurant called the The Trout Inn (www.thetroutoxford.co.uk‎). It's next to a lock and in summer is a brilliant place to sit outside. If you are tired of walking busses will take you back into Oxford.

I suggest you this about a trip to Oxford see http://www.oxfordprospect.co.uk/ONE-HOUR-IN-OXFORD-IS-NOT-ENOUGH.html. It gives details of what to see, stay, eat and do in Oxford, plus some history.
