my other half will be in town soon,i thought about taking her on a visit to oxford using a coach service.
sooooooooooo is there anything interesting,(she likes history) to do for a day trip to oxford,any destinations apart from the "park n ride" i should head for

bein as it sounds like you've not seen her for a while just 'park' and 'ride'

I've heard there's a nice Circus in Oxford

If you listen carefully, you can hear people typing - 'places to visit in Oxford' into Google

ive done the google thang,need something recomemded and not miles of walking inbetween

there is an ice rink near the centre of oxford if you are into that kind of thing. went to Oxford with college just before christmas. the pubs are nice..... some pretty nice architecture as well.

I always wanted to say "I went to Oxford", don't forget to get a tie John.

definately take a look around some of the college's, they are usually open to the public plenty of tourists. beautiful grounds.

you could go punting down the river but it might be a touch chilly!

Bordelein (sp?) Library is in the centre of town, interesting looking building, worth a gander. Can't think of much else

Don't ask me, I can't afford to visit the place and it's only 20 miles down the road.

Sorry not to be of more help, Dan.

It must be possible to take tours round some of the interesting looking colleges?

Jon, phone the Tourist Information Centre there- they'll send you brochures and the like. It must have loads of good stuff.

And if nothing else, my friend Laura lives there and she's well worth a visit!

Cheers,
James

Like Cambridge they probably have tour buses that take in most of the well known sites, mind you it's a bit chilly for an open top bus at the moment so wrap up warm . Doubt if the punts are operating yet , the punts in Cambridge are all out of the water until around Easter.
