- Опубликовано: 25 июн 2024
- Welcome to Oxford, England! This is a quick and easy day trip from London and a great city to explore for a day or two. We started with lunch at the Covered Market, then headed over to check out St Marys Church and Radcliffe Camera - an iconic building and focal point of the city. We also give a quick tour of one of our favourite airbnb we've ever stayed (in Chippenham).
We absolutely loved our day trip to Oxford and would recommend at least one full day to check out this wonderful, historic city.
We hope you enjoy this walking tour vlog of Oxford, England! ~Kristy & Steve

Hi 👋
We're Kristy & Steve, a couple from Melbourne Australia. We created this channel to keep our friends, family and anyone we meet along the way, up to date with our journey around the world! We left our jobs, sold our possessions, rented out our apartment and bought one way tickets to start a new long-term adventure exploring different countries, discovering new cultures and learning new ways of life.
Join us on our trip - we hope you enjoy! ✈️
Kristy and Steved
Nice to see someone visit England and not concentrate solely on London. 😄😄
Thank you ❤️
Thanks Kristy and Steve for your nice comments about my place I thoroughly enjoy having you and listen to your interesting travel adventures beautiful and honestly done
Keep the adventure going for all of us to enjoy your trip’s exploring places ❤❤
Thank you SO MUCH again for the wonderful stay, Chonette - it truly is the most homely, vibrant and comfortable airbnb we have ever stayed & we absolutely loved Chippenham 🥰
Great videos guys! For a lot of cities (especially Oxford) it may be worth using the Park and Ride buses to save you on parking fees. Basically they are large car parks a mile or so out the city centre with a regular cheap or even free shuttle bus to take you in and out of the centre. 👍🏻
Good to know, cheers Aaron! 😀
Nice place. Love the bagpipes. The bloopers are fun. Cool Airbnb too.
nice video. i really like you show us where you stay
Thanks! ☺️
We are so mixed in metric and imperial. It's 70 miles an hour, but 100K ish when I lived in Finland. Yes, 70 MILES an hour, and 4 pint milk is like 2.22Liters. Confuzzles a lot of people..
Absolutely! We can see how mistakes could be made - we felt like snails on the motorways, sitting along between 50-60mph 😳
40 Quid a night, thats cheap as chips.
Absolutely! Best value Airbnb we have ever stayed - and incredibly kind host.
Thank you for watching ☺️
@@KristyandSteve Thats rrealy cheap, you fell on your feet with that one.
Exactly my thought.
Yes that’s a bargain guys
Great tour thanks. Thats interesting about the tiered building, i wondered too if thinner beams were cheaper but then need to cantilever to avoid sagging floors..maybe a double win!
Haha perhaps! Who knows 🤷🏻♀️ Was a very interesting building though and obviously very structurally sound as its held up over the test of time. Thanks for watching! 😀
Hi guy's, well I'm 60 this Friday and i never new about the tax on the ground space i know about the tax on windows so thanks for that also if you ever got in a bad mood there just go back to your airbnb it's so colourful it would cheer anyone up 😊.
Happy 60th Birthday for this Friday 29th! Hope you have a great day 🥳
We absolutely loved our airbnb in Chippenham, so beautiful and vibrant isnt it? The host/owner is lovely and puts a lot of effort into ensuring her guests have a comfortable and happy stay 🥰
@@KristyandSteve it is such a pretty airbnb, and thanks for the birthday wishes ☺️.
Mph on the roads, pints for beer and milk
But if you go to the hardware store to by wood it’s in cm and food is measured in grams and kilograms
But….
If your weighing yourself it’s in pounds and stone which no country has a bloody clue what a stone is 😂😂😂
We like to be a pain in the arse in the UK and use a bit of both
Oh man now that is confusing! 😵💫 Thanks for somewhat clarifying for us though haha - appreciate it 😀
Loved this, Oxford is 20 mins where I live 🥰 Great overview 👍😁🇬🇧
Thank you 🙏 Love Oxford, you're lucky to live in such a beautiful part of England 🏴
Great video guys,kerp it coming.
Shall do GJ!
National speed limit is 70mph, so motorways and deregulated roads (white circle with black border and with diagonal black line through it) on dual carriageway, and 60mph on single carriageway, unless otherwise posted...
A lot of the minor roads you'll find are deregulated 60mph...
Ahhh ok thanks for the information! We did sit between 60-70mph (once we realised the conversion speed from metric to imperial 🤦🏻♀️)
Thanks for watching!
Love your videos x
Cheers Stacey! We appreciate that ❤️
My choice of chocolate real good I get the sea salt and caramel.
Ooohh I have to try this - sounds great! They have so many different flavour varieties, I was surprised. Very nice chocolate indeed 👌🏽
Looks amazing guys! Where abouts was the Airbnb located? Was parking included? Xx
Its in Chippenham, just off the main street. Parking wasnt included but there was a carpark directly behind the airbnb for free for 2hrs inside 9am and 5pm. We had no problem parking as we parked after 5pm and left before 9am ☺️
Love your vibes guys, great couple, great producers, what camera you shooting on? ❤❤
So kind of you, thank you so much - appreciate it ❤️ We use a Sony A7C with a wide angled lens ☺️
Can I donate to your channel please?
🥹 Thats so nice of you, thank you! We just had to find out how you would do that as we had no clue. Apparently there is a "thanks" tab next to the "like" and "share" tabs under the video. If you click the "thanks" tab, it allows you to choose an amount etc We really appreciate your kindness, what is your name please? ❤️
New subscriber! Love travel channels like this, great to see you enjoying the UK 🇬🇧 x
Cheers Andrea! Glad you like our videos, we absolutely LOVE the UK - would live here if we could! 🇬🇧 ❤️
@@KristyandSteve glad you’re enjoying it. I will look forward to your other travel videos x
Appreciate that Andrea, thank you 🙏🥰
The hourly average wage in UK is £10 compared to Australia which is 24 dollars per hour you do the maths so not twice as expensive 😊
You are correct, we misspoke! We meant the conversion, so if something was £10, we knew it was approx AUD$20.
Thanks for watching! 😊
Driving wise we use Miles per hour. The motorway is officially 70 but a lot of people push that as most police won’t stop you unless your over 10% over the speed limit. But a lot of motorways are now having smart camera’s installed which will get you! So stick to 70 mph on motorways. Otherwise just look for the road signs. And it’s all in Miles per hour. Lovely following you. So glad your getting to see more than just London! You’ve certainly got some good spots!
Thanks so much for this information! In Australia we have speed signs everywhere along the motorways )indicating how fast to go) so we were quite confused driving in the UK and just sat on a comfortable speed relative to the other cars. Good to know for next time we visit!
Thanks for watching and following along our journey 😀
@@KristyandSteve No problem, loving the video’s. Occasionally you may get amended speeds on motorways, if there is traffic ahead or debris in the road and then you’ll see the amended speed limit displayed on the gantry’s that go over the motorway. You need to stick to these so watch out for them when motorway driving. Best wishes for the rest of your travels. From Warwickshire. 😃
Noted, thanks so much! 🤗
70 mph motorways
60 mph national speed limit
30 mph built up areas generally but these can vary
Others are sign posted
Thank you Tony! ☺️
hi guys, oxford is where i was brought up,just down the road bicester, i as a teen, used to play football and cricket for the county of oxford, i also used to run for the county i used to do the 1500m and 3000m our home ground and where we trained, is where roger banister broke the 4 minute mile, it was thought it could never be done, it was at ifley road oxford, the track was owned by oxford universty. i ran for then at crystal palace in the AAA's which in them days would be like footballer playing at wembely or amatuer super bowl we also played rugby be there,
Hi Sean! We really loved Oxford, you're very lucky to have been brought up in such a beautiful part of England - you sound like you had (and still probably do!) some real sporting talents with running athletics, cricket and football (soccer or rugby I think we call it in Australia)
@@KristyandSteve bit old for that now im 58, but thanks for the relpies,. if you want more british gossip traditions of years gone by let me know,
We appreciate your wealth of knowledge and replying to us, Sean. Will keep in mind if we need any information on further British traditions - we will be back again one day ☺️
@@KristyandSteve hi would you mind if i email, would love to swap cultures and stuff, keep in touch, you might find things interesting from holidays on stately home, to learning to swim in organised mining pond/pool
Me and my mate were driving on the pacific motorway in Queensland in a volvo (mistake) we bought in Sydney back in 1991-- 20 years out of Gothenburg and it had a mph clock on it and the road signs said 70 kph so we were going 70 mpn and yep we got pulled over by a Queensland cop and my mate from Newcastle Englad explained the circumstances in a broad Geordie accent only for the cop to yell "you're in bloody Australia" and I was laughing in the passenger seat.........fined we were.
Hahaha that's hilarious! It was so bloody confusing for us 🤣
In Bath try turtle bay, carribean food ❤
We walked past there I think! I recall the name 🥰 Thanks for the recommendation
@@KristyandSteve if you go, I get the jerk pit prawns and ribs then Trinidad chicken curry, top drawer 👌👌
oh my goodness that sounds delicious! ☺️
Its a shame you didn't see York or Derbyshire. The south is Very different to the North.. 🙁 Manchester also has the oldest library in Europe and a good Victorian industrial scene. Liverpool too was worth a visit around the docks. Whilst the south is pretty, it lacks grit!
We'll definitely be back to check out more of England, its one of our favourite places in the world 🥰
Tony’s? It’s alright, but surly all about Cadbury in England! Lol
We eat Cadbury chocolate almost everyday in Australia, wanted to try something different and heard Tonys was good. Not bad, prefer Cadburys though 👌🏽
@@KristyandSteve Aw no way I forget you can get it outside of Britain 🤣 does it taste the same here? As I heard they have to add something different to the Australian version of chocolate to stop it melting straight away? Could be bullshit lol do they just keep all chocolate in fridges in Australia when it’s hot? Which is probably all time 😂
Oooh Ive not heard about any additional ingredients to Cadburys in Australia - tastes the same to me as it does in the UK though! Its a controversial topic if you put chocolate in the fridge or not in Oz (I definitely do not as I prefer it room temp but Steve does 💁🏻♀️). Same thing with tomato sauce, we don't refrigerate it but most people do. Personal preference really
Would you swap Aus for Uk though?
Dont know if we'd "swap" but given the choice, we'd happily go between the two. Lots of similarities and the UK feels very homely to us -love the Brits (great senses of humour and a superior level of banter) 🇬🇧🥰
@@KristyandSteve. I love watching anything about Australia and Australians and I listen to lots of Australian Aussie noir audiobooks. The main reason is I like to be reminded of sayings which have dropped out of fashion here but you and New Zealand are still use. I look like you say holidays are not vacation. Mum and not mom. That you have sausage rolls and meat pies and you drink tea. Keep it coming. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Just an fyi, Oxford is a city not a town.
Thanks for the clarification Vicky! ☺️
Roundabouts giveway to to your right motorways speed limit 70miles a hour
Cheers Stephen! 70mph seems SO fast to us -our motorways are 100km (about 62mph) and a lot of cars were flying past us still. We were terrified (well I was anyway, Steve was fine thank goodness as he was the one driving) - thanks for letting us know! 😀
