As well as its historic colleges, Oxford has some excellent museums offering free entry. The Ashmolean has world class art and archaeological collections, while the Natural History Museum is well worth a visit, but perhaps of most interest to travellers is the Pitt Rivers Museum. This fascinating anthropological collection contains cases and displays of everything from shrunken heads to a dhow, as well as Wilfred Thesiger’s collection of over 40,000 photographs, some of which are on permanent display.
We would highly recommend taking a private walking tour of Oxford and no-one comes more highly recommended than local guide, Jane Curran.
Born in Northern Ireland in 1947, Jane Curran moved to Oxford as an infant and has lived and studied there ever since. Her roots lie in languages (French and German) but her passion for guiding began 12 years ago. She has since qualified as a Blue Badge Guide and is a revered member of the Oxford Guild of Guides and Institute of Tourist Guiding. With advance notice Jane’s tours can be designed to suit your interests and most tours will include a visit to at least one college (subject to opening times).
To book your tour please call Jane directly on 01865 515 129 and quote ‘Audley Travel’ (we would recommend advance booking). Prices are from £75 whether you are a couple, a family or a group of friends.
Blenheim Palace, the birthplace of Winston Churchill, is located just eight miles outside Oxford in the village of Woodstock.
Here you'll be able to take in a tour of the palace's State Rooms, which are home to an impressive collection of art and treasures from the last 300 years, and the Chuchill exhibition, which includes the room where Winston Churchill was born. The palace is also surrounded by over 2,000 acres of parkland, designed by 'Capability' Brown to explore and maybe take in a picnic.
For those of you seeking a break from city life you could pack your wellington boots and a hamper and venture out to the Cotswolds. Burford, the gateway to the Cotswolds, is just a short drive from the office; here you will find galleries, gift shops, bakeries and boutiques. The charming villages of Broadway, Tew, Snowshill and Bourton on the Water lie just beyond here. Visit the award winning Burford Garden Centre, Cotswold Wildlife Park, enjoy a rambler's lunch at a local pub or a leisurely country walk?
