Lovely city, always a joy to explore.
Wonderful city. Too many students. Too many cars. Best pubs in the world.
This city is attractive and you can see pretty much everything on foot. Go carefully around Cowley Road area but be sure to visit the Ashmolean museum, the Pitt Rivers and have a look around some of the university grounds if they let you in, they can be very snobby about this. We used to go to a great pub called Jude the Obscure with a very excentric Irish landlord called Noel. Top guy, anyone bump into him say hello from Jim!
