Photography Tour in Oxford

The best photos of Oxford aren't at the obvious landmarks. The real magic is in the side streets, the reflected light, the unexpected angles that only reveal themselves to those exploring on foot.

Oxford is the City of Dreaming Spires, where 900 years of academic history fill honey-colored college quadrangles, medieval lanes, and the oldest public library in the world.

•Bodleian Library and Radcliffe Camera — a dramatic natural formation offering breathtaking views and a sense of the raw power of geological forces
•University Church of St Mary — a 13th-century Gothic church on the High Street with a Baroque porch and tower views over the Radcliffe Camera and dreaming spires

Hidden Photography Tour Gems
