The Day Trip to Oxford


Last weekend Pete and I headed out on an adventure. As it's only an hour from Paddington, Pete and I decided to get our Network Railcards out headed in a totally different direction to Oxford.

If you’re planning a trip and want to find out more about this city, check out these links here:

When we visit somewhere new, Pete and I don't really plan things and spend most of our time discovering what we can about a place as we wander around. We ended up at the covered market, the Radcliffe Camera and the Bodelian Library before continuing to our walk to the Museum of Natural History and back into the centre to visit the Museum of History of Science. Oxford is a great city just to wander around.


The city is extremely picturesque and a great place to go if you're into photography. There were several guided tours too and if we had more than a day there we would have definitely gone on one. Don’t expect to get phone signal though, so if you rely on Google Maps on your phone, be careful.

We had a great day in Oxford and will definitely be back again in the future. Check out this gallery for more pictures: http://bit.ly/1jkgREA
