Again, we travelled from Bath to Oxford with First Great Western train. From Bath Spa, we changed trains at Didcot Parkway and finally got off at Oxford Rail station. The train journey was about 1 hour 10 minutes, from 2.43pm-3.50pm.
1) My experience of universities is of campuses with fairly clear boundaries: central administration offices and lecture theatres, all clearly signposted. Oxford is not that kind of university. The whole town is the university – it is hidden in pieces around the city’s central business district.
2) Oxford is peppered with churches, towers and spires.
3) St Mary the Virgin church.
4) Bridge of Sighs
5) It was a very windy and cold day, which hampered our visit and, being the Christmas eve, many of the buildings we wanted to look in were closed to visitors. But Oxford is definitely a place I would love to go back to and spend a bit more time in. I get the feeling it is a rich and deep place that we barely scratched the surface of.
We took First Great Western train back to London Paddington from 9.01pm-9.58pm.
