Why Oxfordshire? History and Heritage

Arts and Culture

There are over 1,500 listed buildings in Oxford, and the University of Oxford is the oldest in the English-speaking world. Among the alumni are 30 British Prime Ministers, at least 30 international leaders and 50 Nobel Prize winners, and countless scientists, authors and other great minds.

Oxford’s museums and libraries are unparalleled. The Ashmolean Museum is the oldest museum in the world, the Bodleian Library holds a multitude of invaluable ancient books and the Pitt Rivers is a treasure trove of curious artefacts.

Outside Oxford lies Blenheim Palace, a UNESCO World Heritage Site in Woodstock. It is the birthplace of Sir Winston Churchill and is currently home to the 12th Duke of Marlborough, with 300 years of history to discover and more than 2000 acres of landscaped parkland and gardens to explore.

Outdoors The high walls of Oxford’s time-honoured colleges enclose peaceful gardens, and Britain’s oldest botanical garden occupies a charming position on the River Cherwell in the heart of Oxford. The city’s many parks and meadows like Christ Church Meadows, South Parks, University Parks and Port Meadow are some of the best parks you can visit in England. Take a river cruise along the Thames from Oxford to the serene expanse of Port Meadow where Lewis Carroll first told his stories of Alice in Wonderland.
