Discover Another Side of Oxford with a New Walking Tour

Oxford Official Walking Tours has launched a new experience taking visitors beyond the city's famous colleges and landmarks to discover the neighbourhoods, stories, and hidden corners that make Oxford unique.

The Oxford Beyond the Dreaming Spires Walking Tour offers a fresh perspective on the city, exploring areas that visitors might not usually discover during a trip to Oxford.

Starting north of the city centre, the two-hour tour takes guests through the characterful streets of Jericho and towards the Radcliffe Observatory Quarter, showcasing how Oxford's rich history sits alongside its vibrant modern life.

Along the way, guests can discover tranquil waterside paths, the natural beauty of the University Parks, independent cafés, historic pubs and neighbourhoods connected with generations of Oxford scholars, writers, scientists, artists and entrepreneurs.

The tour currently runs on Mondays and Thursdays at 11:00 and lasts approximately two hours, with public tours limited to a maximum of 20 guests.

Planning a conference or corporate event in Oxford? The tour can also be booked privately for corporate groups, with options to tailor the experience to the group's interests. Private tours are available on different dates and times, subject to guide availability.
