Some points below to urge you to go there soon.\n\n1- Magdalen College: deer and deer at the rendezvous\n-\n![1.png (https:\/\/steemitimages.com\/DQmZi453m7neWDqGcAQWDGK9yiGSqZdoeqHkmQYRiL466kz\/1.png)\nPhoto Credits: Ava Drai \/ Instagram\n\nIn this \"college\" is the \"deer park\" where deer and deer roam freely. Madgalen is one of the largest \"colleges\" in the city: it has nearly 50 hectares of land. In addition,<br> its buildings dating from the 15th century are accessible to visitors: you will see the Cloister,<br> the New Building and the many square courtyards that adorn the landscape. Pretty nice. You should also know that Oscar Wilde,<br> an Oxford student,<br> belonged to this campus. And that,<br> it slams.\n\n\n2- Hedford Bridge,<br> the English Bridge of Sighs\n-\n![2.jpg (https:\/\/steemitimages.com\/DQmZwSbQf79Neywjqxg9Xy9EVcGAEhq1k2qbCqFuZWrxye5\/2.jpg)\nPhoto credits (creative commons): chensiyuan\n\nIt connects Hedford College to the Bodleian Bookstore and is located on Catte Street. An apparently false legend says that following a study of the health of Oxford students,<br> it was found that the residents of the Hedford campus were the heaviest. Suddenly,<br> we decided to close the bridge to force them to go through the stairs. A little annoying. A bit much. Nevertheless,<br> this little architectural originality is worth the detour.\n\n\n3- \"The Hall\" of Christ Church from the Renaissance\n-\n![3.jpg (https:\/\/steemitimages.com\/DQmbrowNcRePUar63uvCy3ce92PgteQGmbzaYpZyph56DeK\/3.jpg)\nPhoto credits (creative commons): Mtcv\n\nFor those who have never seen a single movie in the Harry Potter saga,<br> this is the Great Hall where students hang out,<br> receive their mail from owls and are assigned to their home. Be aware that the scenes were never filmed in the Oxford Hall but that the locations were reproduced identically in London studios. So there's no point sitting on all the seats hoping to fall on Daniel Radcliffe's. First,<br> it's uncomfortable,<br> and second,<br> it's doomed to failure. Sorry not sorry.\n\n\n4- The Museum of Natural History\n-\n![4.jpg (https:\/\/steemitimages.com\/DQmWBU5M4XgE3FymmFkut2K5RbKFV6u3asmoEwvKmaoeR4x\/4.jpg)\nPhoto credits (creative commons): MykReeve\n\nThis absolutely superb Neo-Gothic building dating back to the 19th century is home to many of the jewels of history. It was also the scene of inflamed debates between scientists of the time,<br> shortly after the publication of the Origin of the species of Charles Darwin in 1860. Nothing but that.\n\n\n5- Radcliffe Camera\n-\n![5.jpg (https:\/\/steemitimages.com\/DQmYVwppkemsxtKCQEREKPsHk8s9qvHQxC6x3WgshjUS3TN\/5.jpg)\nPhoto credits (creative commons): Diliff\n\nFor a long time it was Oxford's main library and then it was stolen by the Bodleian bookstore. Rad Cam or Radders for intimates is now more than just a reading room. A little loose but we do not judge because it's pretty hot. Inspired by the Palladianism of the Italian Renaissance,<br> we can only remain speechless facing this magnificent building.\n\n\n6- Holywell Street,<br> a street not disgusting ;)\n-\n![6.jpg (https:\/\/steemitimages.com\/DQmUo35qNynQNKW4fHMYgZV5QjPSuPnknZgZn1crRUkLE4S\/6.jpg)\nPhoto credits (creative commons): Jim\n\nIn this historic street,<br> you'll come across King's Arm,<br> Oxford's oldest pub. It was built in 1607. According to the site of said bar,<br> it also hosts the highest IQ in the world ... Information to check since I've never been there ...\n\n\n7- The Oxford Botanical Garden\n-\n![7.jpg (https:\/\/steemitimages.com\/DQmfU6FsNcUGXt5iVhBxfg5iUWXYea9MpnT3KTmE5PLvqgn\/7.jpg)\nPhoto credits (creative commons): Bryan Pready\n\nThis magical place inspired Lewis Carroll as he wrote \"Alice in Wonderland\". Not because this guy,<br> besides being a renowned writer,<br> was also a professor of mathematics at Oxford. In this park,<br> you can also see Victoria Cruziana,<br> giant water lilies shaped pie mold whose name was given in honor of Queen Victoria (we would have suspected).\n\n\n8- Ashmolean Museum,<br> the oldest public museum in Britain\n-\n![8.jpg (https:\/\/steemitimages.com\/DQmU67ewvdZU7Esp3B9DQr1PEQuvUEcL3r1ki1EHk7pFQ7y\/8.jpg)\nPhoto credits (creative commons): Remi Mathis\n\nIt dates from 1685. In this museum that combines many wonders,<br> we can find a wide variety of things from the last dodo who lived in Europe (stuffed,<br> he died,<br> yes I know it's hard to learn as it) to Raphael's drawings or to Paul C\u00e9zanne's paintings. Happy bazaar that will not be missed if you go there.\n\n\n9- Covered Market in Oxford\n-\n![9.jpg (https:\/\/steemitimages.com\/DQmamsx5AcrsbvfxuHbFH2cU35B9G2ABA67qGBjY7vaAdNZ\/9.jpg)\nPhoto credits (creative commons): User: M stone\n\nOpened in 1774,<br> it is still active. He was installed to put some order in the streets of Oxford which were then invaded by the stalls of traders. This is where we find the famous Oxford sausage whose recipe was first given in 1723 in a book called \"The Cook's and Confectioner's Dictionary: Now,<br> the Accomplished Housewife's Companion\" ... A Sexist Hair . But hey,<br> we were in the 18th century what.\n\n\n10- Christ Church,<br> the campus of the big richous\n-\n![10.jpg (https:\/\/steemitimages.com\/DQme7ygnrjHwnJ1rdSWpxHQezTaNwtB8oq4tvdp7MBuoFJV\/10.jpg)\nPhoto credits: MR. Travel\n\nChrist Church is one of Oxford's richest and largest \"colleges\". Proportionally,<br> this is the campus that has hosted the most English ministers. In addition,<br> Lewis Caroll met Alice Liddell,<br> the Doyen's granddaughter,<br> for whom he wrote \"Alice in Wonderland\" .It seems that this is one of the only \"colleges\" in the world that is home to cathedral as a chapel. What's more,<br> beautiful. The place is also worth seeing because,<br> as we saw above,<br> it was also the place of inspiration and shooting of several scenes of the saga \"Harry Potter\".\n\nOn the other hand,<br> it was at Oxford that J.R.R.Tolkien,<br> the author of the \"Lord of the Rings,<br>\" studied. And if you want to take a look at his grave (band of unhealthy voyeurs),<br> the famous writer is buried in the cemetery of Wolvercote in the suburbs of Oxford alongside his wife \u00c9dith ...",<br>"json_metadata":" \"tags\":[\"travel\",<br>\"england\",<br>\"uk\" ,<br>\"image\":[\"https:\/\/steemitimages.com\/DQmZi453m7neWDqGcAQWDGK9yiGSqZdoeqHkmQYRiL466kz\/1.png\",<br>\"https:\/\/steemitimages.com\/DQmZwSbQf79Neywjqxg9Xy9EVcGAEhq1k2qbCqFuZWrxye5\/2.jpg\",<br>\"https:\/\/steemitimages.com\/DQmbrowNcRePUar63uvCy3ce92PgteQGmbzaYpZyph56DeK\/3.jpg\",<br>\"https:\/\/steemitimages.com\/DQmWBU5M4XgE3FymmFkut2K5RbKFV6u3asmoEwvKmaoeR4x\/4.jpg\",<br>\"https:\/\/steemitimages.com\/DQmYVwppkemsxtKCQEREKPsHk8s9qvHQxC6x3WgshjUS3TN\/5.jpg\",<br>\"https:\/\/steemitimages.com\/DQmUo35qNynQNKW4fHMYgZV5QjPSuPnknZgZn1crRUkLE4S\/6.jpg\",<br>\"https:\/\/steemitimages.com\/DQmfU6FsNcUGXt5iVhBxfg5iUWXYea9MpnT3KTmE5PLvqgn\/7.jpg\",<br>\"https:\/\/steemitimages.com\/DQmU67ewvdZU7Esp3B9DQr1PEQuvUEcL3r1ki1EHk7pFQ7y\/8.jpg\",<br>\"https:\/\/steemitimages.com\/DQmamsx5AcrsbvfxuHbFH2cU35B9G2ABA67qGBjY7vaAdNZ\/9.jpg\",<br>\"https:\/\/steemitimages.com\/DQme7ygnrjHwnJ1rdSWpxHQezTaNwtB8oq4tvdp7MBuoFJV\/10.jpg\" ,<br>\"app\":\"steemit\/0.1\",<br>\"format\":\"markdown\" " |
