Situated next to the River Cam lies King’s College, a stunningly beautiful example of medieval Gothic architecture. Founded by Henry VI in 1441, its fan vault ceiling is the largest in the world. Walk in the footsteps of famous alumni that include Alan Turing – the brilliant WW2 codebreaker – Oliver Cromwell and Charles Darwin.
Construction on the college chapel began in 1446 and took almost 70 years to complete. Today, it is home to a world-famous choir that broadcasts to millions of listeners all over the globe every year on Christmas Eve.

Along the way, you will see architecture from every period in English history, from early Saxon right the way through to Gothic Revival. This eclectic mix of buildings is unique to Oxford, as it is the only place in the country where you’ll find structures from every period in English history.
Oxford is, of course, also home to the University of Oxford, the oldest University in the English-speaking world with origins dating back to the 11th century.
In Christ Church college, you will be visiting one of the University’s most prestigious colleges. Founded by Henry VIII in 1532, Christ Church also functions as the UK’s smallest cathedral.
Its beautiful architecture has seen it featured in movies such as Harry Potter and The Golden Compass, while it has also inspired replicas around the world.
