Oxford, City of Dreaming Spires is one of the most remarkable cities in the world, 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 city centre is taken up by medieval and renaissance buildings, an unparalleled cluster of architecture, and all within an area of 600 yards by 600 yards. At its heart is the Radcliffe Camera, set in one of the most beautiful squares in the world.

The beauty of Oxford lies not only in its building but also in their groupings. The view across Christ Church Meadows to the skyline is of colleges which form the southern edge of the city and is an urban prospect of rare power and beauty. The High Street justifies its reputation as one of the finest streets in the world, as does the wide expense of Broad Street- flanked by the Bodleian Library and Sheldonian Theatre on one side and Trinity College on the other.
