老虎头上小鸟:“I learned about the history of the Churchill family. The manor building is like a palace. Every room inside is luxurious. My favorite is the largest and longest library facing the beautiful riverside garden. The garden is well designed, and the walk along the river is quiet and beautiful!”
庞贝蒋琬:“The teacher started from the Oxford University Museum and finally went to Chris Church College, bringing us a very detailed history of Britain and the origin of Oxford. The most impressive thing is the story of Bloody Mary: the conflict between the new and old churches, the three archbishops who were burned to death, and the violence and killing caused by an unfortunate childhood.
The teacher prepared very carefully! When narrating, he could also cite modern classics. The children could also fill in and remember these stories based on film and television works, such as the history of the entire Oxford University & the division of labor of the colleges, etc., which can be understood in combination with the plot of Harry Potter~
Three hours of explanation, let us all want more!”
陌染MM:“The Bridge of Sighs (Oxford University, UK) is officially called Hertford Bridge. It is a famous attraction at Oxford University. The construction of the Bridge of Sighs began in 1913 (completed in 1914). It crosses New College Road and connects the old and new parts of Hertford College. It is a famous attraction at Oxford University. It was designed by Sir Thomas Jackson. Because the bridge is similar to the Bridge of Sighs in Venice, Italy, it is called the Bridge of Sighs. I came to Oxford University with a tour group and could only take a quick look.”
苏河家园:“The Church of the Virgin Mary of Oxford University is the main church of Oxford University. The interior is stained with glass. Traveling through the ancient neighbourhoods of Oxford, you can feel the British academic atmosphere and history.”

It is one of the oldest libraries in Europe (opened in 1602) and the second largest in the UK after the British Library. library. This is one of the 6 statutory libraries in the UK.

AAA8:“Earth and life exist in delicate balance. Explore the oceans, land, and air around us to witness this dynamic connection and see what happens when the balance tips.”
M43***62:“Covid regulations at the castle/prison dictate that an hours guided tour must be taken. In reality a visit without one would be a mistake. Our tour was conducted by Becca, right from the start it was obvious she has a thorough knowledge of the sights to see at the location. A thoroughly enjoyable, rewarding and enlightening visit. Highly recommended.”

coo***an:“Christ Church Gallery is located in the bustling city center. As soon as you enter the gallery, you will feel the quiet literary atmosphere. It is a great contrast! The paintings here are very beautiful, the light is soft, and it is a very professional gallery! Recommended~”

Mackem lass:“Excellent location! Super clean. Bed was too soft and small. (Used to a superking) felt like I was going to roll off as too soft. Nice touch to see a welcome note on TV on arrival.”
Guest User:“Really lovely hotel set in pretty grounds. Only a short drive to Oxford centre and Blenheim Palace. Comfortable room with good amenities and there is a lovely swimming pool and spa area. Enjoyed a drink in the courtyard as the sun was setting. Very relaxing atmosphere and friendly staff.”
meowoo:“The hotel is good but the service is bad, especially the front desk receptionist doesn't smile at all. Also It is inconvenient that if you want more stuff like box tissue and toothpaste you need to walk all the way to the front desk to get it yourself, the housekeeping will not bring to your room.”
Guest User:“Loved the quiet and peaceful surrounding not too far from the city centre. Lovely stroll around the residential neighbourhood. The hotel lobby is cosy and welcoming. The lounge is a good place to have drinks and hang out with friends.”
Guest User:“Superb location right in the centre of Oxford. Good for those travelling without car. If travelling with car, you would need to park in Westgate or Worcester street car park.
Only opened in 2024, so the facilities are new and clean. Modern chic style. Spa is small, but has steam, sauna and experience shower.
The only thing was whenever we asked for something, it took us 2-3 attempts to finally get things delivered.”
没有蜡olling:“🌟Starry Night🌟
The Oxford Kitchen, I heard it was rated one star before, so I made an appointment immediately. It is really good😋. The salmon and coconut desserts are impressive. Although the chef is most proud of the combination of pork belly and scallops, the tropical dessert full of nostalgia is too eye-catching. The lowest temperature tomorrow is 2 degrees, and it is 22 degrees at home, so I feel homesick ”
淼淼0301:“This is a local ice cream shop. This shop is really great. It is very suitable for having some ice cream dessert after dinner. There are many kinds of ice cream and the taste is also great. It is definitely the best choice to come here.”
没有蜡olling:“A unique restaurant located across the road from the exit of Monument Station in London. There were so many people eating and drinking there at three in the afternoon. I went to the bar to get some snacks and saw this peach pie. The waiter brought it to my seat and said it was not on the menu and was a treat for me.”
133***88:“The taste is OK, the environment is also good, but the quantity is not large, I only remembered to take pictures after eating. In rainy weather, a pot of hot tea is my favorite”
没有蜡olling:“My understanding of Japanese cuisine has really been overturned here. It is the first time I know that figs can be eaten like this. The taste of Japanese Wagyu is really unforgettable. The juicy feeling is really incomparable. It has made me a little incomparable. I haven't eaten Japanese food so comfortably for a long time.”
没有蜡olling:“Pierre Victoire This French restaurant deserves my praise
The waiters are warm and thoughtful. Compared with ThaiKun, which is across the street and is extremely indifferent to Chinese people and forces tips, PV's service attitude is really perfect.
The beef stewed in red wine is very tasty. I don't understand why anyone would give a bad review for beef.
And I like mussels too much. I must have been a female goose of the sea in my previous life. ”
没有蜡olling:“I'm so hungry. Suddenly I remembered that when I was in the UK, I was often fed with a potato. I felt that I was pretty easy to feed, hahahahahaha... My friend and I found a pub called "The Eagle and Child" in Oxford. I have always been curious about the name of this pub. Since I don't drink, we really just went there to eat and didn't drink a drop of alcohol, hahaha... Most pubs in the UK are quite serious and have their own characteristics!”
