We decided this past weekend to make a trip to Oxford. So it was off to our local main railway station, Temple Meads, and off to Oxford. For 16 pound each this provides an all day ticket there and back. First stop was Didcot Parkway for a change to Oxford and in under 1.5 hours we were there. The weather has been overcast for a while now but this didn’t stop the town from appearing quite charming. I hadn’t realised that there are 39 Colleges here as well as the main Oxford University campus so it was all rather confusing at first. We didn’t take any literature with us at all and just managed to bumble our way through the place. It really just was for a general overview at this stage to see whether we wanted to come back at a later stage or not. Loads of historical buildings, fabulous shopping (if you have the time or money to do so) and very costly in everything else.
We really did not give the town the time it needed to give it a really good look. Also we did not get to see the libraries and museums on offer so I am sure we will have to go back again soon.
