English Oxford is one of the oldest university cities in England. It is located in the south of the country, right by the River Thames, in Oxfordshire. This city is often called the "city of picturesque towers".
Nature
Oxford has plenty of parks and green spaces that encourage you to go outside. In addition, we find 25 nature reserves around the city, and 30 hectares of parks belonging to the university in the center. We will see exotic trees, flowers and, if we can, we will play a real English cricket game. In addition, we will visit the fallow deer Reserve in the St. Magdalena area, and for those who like to walk through the meadows, the meadow of Christ Church College, located on the Thames. True nature lovers and botanists, the visit is considered one of the world's oldest botanical gardens, located near the city center on Rose Lane, and belongs to the Oxford University Botanic Gardens. The garden was built in 1621 on the site of an old Jewish cemetery. If we find out that nature is not enough for us, let's move north from the city.
Attractions
Oxford is a bustling city day and night. Every year, millions of tourists from all over the world come to visit it, for good reason, because in the city itself we will find many attractions that will make our stay more enjoyable and also make us want to return to this beautiful city.
It is here that the flagship of the city is located - the oldest university in the UK, the University of Oxford, founded around 1167. Some historians argue about this date, believing that in 1096 lectures were given at this university, and only in 1167 the university became famous and acquired more students, because it was then that the English King Henry II forbade English students to study at the University of Paris. Undoubtedly, the reputation of this university is known all over the world, and its graduates include 46 Nobel laureates, 25 Prime Ministers of the United Kingdom, numerous poets and writers or people from our native country, such as Radoslaw Sikorski, Adam Zamoyski or Jacek Rostowski. When visiting the university and the numerous colleges associated with it, it is worth paying attention to the beautiful architecture, which is still impressive.
A New theater (musicals, ballet) should be recommended for in-demand theatrical performances and the Oxford Theatre. We can also watch student art at Burton Taylor's Studio and the Old Fire Station. Connoisseurs of Hollywood cinema will find two Odeon cinemas here, as well as connoisseurs of independent cinema - the Ultimate Picture Palace and Phoenix Picture House. It is worth noting that it was in Oxford that some scenes or entire films were shot, such as "X-Men: First Class" or the three parts of "Harry Potter" ("Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone", "Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets") "Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire").
Those who like to read should be directed to the numerous libraries owned by the city and the university. The Bodleian Library is the largest library where we can find, for example, the Magna Carta (the Great Charter of Liberty, an act issued in 1215 by King John without Land), the First Folio of Shakespeare (the first collection of 36 works by this author, better known as "Mr. William Shakespeare's Comedies, Histories and Tragedies""The Comedies, Chronicles, and Tragedies of Mr. William Shakespeare."
Connoisseurs of beautiful sounds will find the Oxford Philharmonic Orchestra in the city, as well as the Oxford Bach Choir and the Arcadian Singers. It is worth noting that almost every university college has a choir.
