Oxford is a charming city, famed for its prestigious university. It can be stuffy at times, feeling a bit too proper and strict, lacking the cut-loose university town feel that Bristol has. However, it’s beautiful here, and you really feel like you’re in Old England. I loved wandering through the campus and having a cheap beer at one of the student pubs. There is a lot of history in this city, and if that’s something you are into (I am), then consider a visit – it’s a short ride from London anyways. Typical Costs Hostel prices – Hostels range from…

1. Stroll city The marvel of Oxford is that so many attractions are within an easy stroll of the railway station (train is the best way to get here - otherwise use park-and-ride as city-centre parking is diabolical). Shops, colleges, the excellent covered market and gracious buildings such as Christopher Wren s Sheldonian Theatre are packed together. A favourite walk of mine leads via the City Museum to Christ Church College (the Great Hall is Hogwarts Hall). Walk on through the water meadows alongside the Thames and Cherwell, past the spot where…
