🎤 To watch with subtitles - please click the 'CC' button on your RUclips video player :) Good evening! And welcome to a bumper walk around the heart of one of England's most famous cities: Oxford! From its university to its castle and the many hidden stories that lie within, there's a wealth of riveting history and stunning sights to be found in Oxford, just a few of which we'll visit on this tour! One thing that we didn't get a chance to see in Oxford was the city's rivers, of which there are two. By Magdalen College, you'll find the picturesque River Cherwell, while on the opposite side of the city is the River Isis. The Isis is actually just the River Thames, which flows all the way towards London, but the river in Oxford is often known as the Isis when referred to in the world of rowing, a big part of university life in the city!
Thank you very much. It was very enjoyable and rich of knowledge on every corner in the town of Oxford. Loving it. and Thanks for the great work indeed :)
I don't usually comment on videos but this has to be one of the best videos I've ever watched! It was so informative and I was overwhelmed by the beauty of Oxford. Thank you so much for this lovely video! ❤
Thank you for this informative tour. My son will be attending St. Cross college this fall for his masters. I’m so proud he will get an education from such a prestigious university with incredible history.
My nephew is reading physics at wadham college, started this year, I will be visiting him next week so thank you for a very much enjoyable and informative video. Oxford is simply stunning. It’s no wonder Hitler planned to base his headquarters here if he won the war.
Thank you for an outstanding tour of Oxford. Such a magnificent city with history on every corner. I'm impressed by all the historical facts you put into this tour and really enjoyed listening. Also great to see your subscriber numbers increasing. 👏👏
And thank you so much for watching and those wonderful words! Indeed Oxford is a beautiful city absolutely filled to the brim with history - and we only just covered a bit of it on this tour :) Thank you for all your support on the channel too - I'm really glad that you and many others are enjoying the walks!
Thank you for your comprehensive tour around Oxford. As an alumnus of Merton College, and retired academic of thirty plus years, may I mention that Merton College is also home to the oldest continuously functioning college library in the world ! The ' time ceremony ' you talked about is great fun, walking backwards to preserve the time/space continuum :) Merton Street also has one of the roughest road surfaces in all of Oxford - cyclists beware :( Wonderful tour, well narrated, with all the essential city history - top shelf indeed !
My dad read PPE (Philosophy, Politics & Economics for anyone who doesn't know!) at Corpus Christi College back in the late 1940s, a stone's throw from your college. As the son of a bricklayer and a domestic servant, he was the first in his family to go to university, winning a scholarship to Oxford. His time at Oxford University was one of the highlights of his life.
@@Fitness4London Thank you so much for your interesting comment. Yes, I know Corpus Christi College well, and enjoyed the company of a number of colleagues there. Sadly, not all students who entered university from, may I say more humble backgrounds were treated with equality and respect, especially in the 1940`s. Happily everything has changed since then, with students from many different backgrounds and economic circumstances. Your father must have impressed, to win a scholarship, and entrance to Oxford University - and it was a delight for me to read this :)
@@MrTorleon Great to hear that you had good social/academic links with Corpus Christi. My dad mixed with other colleges and had lifelong friends from his time at Oxford. I think he did well at interview because from an early age he had strong views backed up by persuasive arguments. You're right, the diversity at Oxford University (and The Other Place!!!) has improved so much recently.
@@Fitness4London Indeed, and Oxford University, as with other universities, continues to expand it`s accessibility for potential students from a wide and diverse range of social and economic backgrounds. I began my undergrad year just as the university embarked on a ( highly contentious ) programme to make all colleges bi-gender - a process not completed - if my memory serves, for well over twenty five years. Strongly supported for the most part, but with a vocal faction who considered it the end of Oxford University - but it all worked out beautifully :) Once again, I genuinely appreciate knowing of your fathers time at Oxford.I too have had lifelong friends, catching up during my frequent visits - although, alas, a number have inevitably since passed away. Thank you :)
I lived for many decades near Oxford and was bLue badge guide lecturer for over 20 years till I attained 75 years ,I love Oxford as Town and Gown and most of all I certainly enjoyed your exquisite and most informative tour of my beloved Oxford merci
What an extraordinarily useful and absorbing tour. Having recently visited Oxford, I can say that this video has greatly enhanced my understanding and appreciation for this historic city and university. I do appreciate that you, the narrator, didn't insert himself visually into the tour, which I find distracting in many similar videos.
Your amazing at what you do, not sure if you been told this before but you have an amazing voice, sound like a radio presenter, funny as it may sound thats what i feel about it, your knowledge on these places are amazing, your a true inspiration
Ha ha that's very kind of you to say! I'm always trying to make sure that the narration is as clear as possible, so that you can get to grips with the complex and fascinating histories of places like Oxford! And with a lot of research into making these videos, I'm absolutely loving learning about the often-overlooked histories of towns and cities from around the country! Thank you so much for watching and for your very nice comments - I'm really glad you're enjoying the walks :)
@Let's Walk! oh yes you did amazing research. I'm surprised no one else has said that about your voice. The amount of research you done into these places is amazing. Learning alot as I go along. You done some amazing locations too keep up the amazing work you inspired me alot.
Hi there, just wanted to drop by and say how much I enjoy your smoothly filmed and considered style and your informative narration too. Very enjoyable as always, keep them coming, you know they are appreciated. All the best Yvonne and Mike
Thank you so much for your time and knowledges to share this video. I work for OUP. I do love this city very much. I am proud to call it" my beloved Oxford city ".
Thank you for narrating it with voice. I watched your Haworth video, which I really enjoyed but I struggled capturing the visuals and reading at the same time. Your voice narration is the best. I really enjoy your delightful, enjoyable and educational videos.
I have lived just outside of and worked all my life in Oxford and in most of the places featured in your video, (Richard Ward Construction) but I learnt more about the place in the last 52 minutes than I’ve ever learnt in the last 42 years. Really made me appreciate Oxford a lot more. The Harry Potter fact is a really nice point, I’ll be forever telling people about that now! “You see this mark here, I bet you don’t know what it means.” 😉 🤓 And it’s nice to see these places without the hassle of traffic and hundreds of people getting in my way. 😂 🙏🏼 ☺️
Ha ha absolutely - it's incredible just how much there is in Oxford, but as you say the timeline shows just how densely-packed the city is with sights, and all easily walkable in a short amount of time too :) Thank you so much for watching - I really hope you enjoyed the video!
I've lived near Oxford all my life, and I've been attending university there for 3 years now. I find new things to see, things that I have never noticed before, every week! I love this place
Thank you so much! I'm really glad you liked the walk - Oxford certainly is a fascinating place! But with all those unorthodox pronunciations I knew I couldn't have got them all right, so thank you very much for pointing out the 'micklemas' error, I'll remember it now :)
Nice walk around The town of Oxford England. Very beautiful and historical the medieval town is. Your history lessons are always great. And your walks are always enjoyable. How is your weekend? Mine is going great. We have lots of snow here in Canada. Have a great day 😀 greetings from Canada 😀
Wonderful! So much in there, and necessarily, much left out. Next time perhaps the inside of the Covered Market, a bit about Blackwells bookshop and Basil himself, and the lane past St Edmund Hall up to New College; and down St Giles past the Eagle and Child and the Lamb and Flag?
Absolutely! As you say there's so much to Oxford, and I couldn't quite cover it all in just the one walk (my camera battery barely made it through this one!) But in future I'll definitely have a look at many of the fascinating places you've mentioned and more :) Thank you so much for watching - I'm really glad you enjoyed the video!
Such an outstanding tour it was. I really enjoyed it. Found your channel only today. Thank you so muchhh for bringing us such a quality video with lots of information.
Hi , many thanks for posting this brilliant video, as an Oxonian it makes me so proud to walk around it with you, unfortunately I left many years ago, but i go back at least once a year,, nest could you cover the university parks, and some of the lovely old pubs featured in Morse, like the trout at godstow bridge, i always have a meal there when I visit, anyway thanks again I have subbed and look forward to watching more videos of my beloved Oxford, BTW did you know there is a tunnel that goes under the broad from the bod to Exeter college.
You walked right past Trinity college my friend. With their beautiful golden gates, it's one of the most beautiful and prestigious colleges in Oxford lol.
Thank you for a great tour of the City I lived in throughout my twenties. It has reminded me to revisit sometime, especially to see the site of the Oxford Martyr's execution and memorial of my name sake one Hugh Latimer.
You're welcome! And thank you so much for watching - the history of Oxford certainly is a fascinating one, and we only just scratched the surface of it on this tour :)
We didn’t know we were going to end up here first but everything looks great so far. As time goes by the world will expand and things will grow into their space.
The architecture alone is why Oxford and Yale remind me of each other. Even though Oxford is HUGE student-population wise compared to Yale, they just REALLY remind me of each other. I ❤'d my Midsummer at Oxford program (I studied/resided in Magdalen College, which was GORGEOUS! I did unfortunately fall into the Magdalen/Maudlin pronounciation thing 😂) when I was in grad school at Yale. BEST experience of my academic journey. I think I also approximate Oxford & Yale because they do actually have a LOT of academic connections. The city of Oxford is REALLY amazing too, and compared to New Haven, Connecticut (which I didn't particularly care for 😝 though Yale's campus is AMAZING) it PERFECTLY complements the prolific history of the University. I think the Radcliffe Camera & The Sheldonian Theatre 🎭 & The Bodleian Library are simply my FAVORITE places at Oxford. All just STUNNING in their beauty and dignity. The Ashmolean Museum & Oxford Castle & Prison were pretty cool as well.
@@edsherron No, I resided at Magdalen College when I was studying at Oxford, BUT, I got out into Oxford city itself quite a bit to sightsee, go to pubs, the theater, that sort of thing. Oxford is almost like a miniature version of London. It's MUCH MORE interesting than Cambridge. Ssssshhhhh, I didn't say that did I? 😂
@@benschaeffer8102 Shhh, you totally didn't! 😂. I'm planning on taking a trip to England in a few years' time to see if I should move there and am looking for all the advice I can get. Got any for me / did you see Oxfordshire (is it a good place?) and do you know of any good places to live?
@@edsherron Oh yeah, Oxford city and the surrounding Oxfordshire area are VERY nice. I'm an urban person myself, but the English countryside is really pastoral and beautiful. My favorite place in England was Cornwall (all the way down at the southern end) because I ❤️ rugged cliffs and the ocean.
0:10: Our world on Andromeda moon, formerly known as “Jelly”, but now called Crazy Person World. The sky is beautiful and so pristine blue because the presence of the Metal-Glass moon in our orbit. So beautiful and so clear. But Oxford buildings were previously bigger but now removed to this moon so they feel larger than the environment they are in. These buildings haven’t looked this beautiful in a while.
27:38: Observe the windows on the bridge. They are multicolored chrome. That is characteristic of “Candy Cane” windows. Candy and sugar crystals are multi-colored if you shine a focused light on a piece of rock candy, the light filtered through give off a spectrum of light.
Looks really nice, I would love to visit Oxford someday. I can trace my family in Oxford all the way back to 1564 to my 11x great grandmother Elizabeth White. Greetings from Mark in Canada 🇨🇦
I’m coming tomorrow and haven’t really planned anything. oops, can you advise some good things to do with not much budget, walking and eating are our main hobbies… thanks.
Great. Going back there now as a tourist 40 years after being a student. Taking more notice now. (One tiny quibble: why did you only use Lewis Carroll the pen-name, rather than the writer’s real name, Henry Dodgson)
By way of clarification: ALL students belong to a college. It’s not something they “aspire to” as stated here! You HAVE to belong to a college to study at the University. You apply to a particular college or you can make an open application when the University allocates you to a college.
St. Mary's Church is as beautiful as its Name !!! Those who built it knew what they were doing, because they knew Who the Seat of Wisdom is, from Whom comes all Knowledge and True Science!!! Most befitting for a World renowned University, so let’s hope it again gains Its prominent Place in the field of sciences, because without It, it is all vain and goes to Perdition!!.....✝️

St. Mary's Church is as beautiful as its Name !!! Those who built it knew what they were doing, because they knew Who the Seat of Wisdom is, from Whom comes all Knowledge and True Science!!! Most befitting for a World renowned University, so let’s hope it again gains Its prominent Place in the field of sciences, because without It, it is all vain and goes to Perdition!!.....✝️
Brilliant, thank you!!
Amazing educational institutions
