Caption: School’s out for summer So you’re in a house just outside Oxford and have a couple of days to spend in this hallowed temple of knowledge where all the learned people are on vacation, just as you are.
What things to see and do in those 48 hours in order to feel a connection with this city?
Picture
Caption: Let’s just start in High St...

Caption: You haven’t really seen Oxford without visiting one of its many colleges. But which one?
The famous Harry Potter one? Or the one that truly has it all? A breathtaking court and hall, gorgeously detailed buildings, a garden that stretches all the way down to the River Cherwell.
And the best name - Magdalen (pronounced as ‘maudlin’). It proves to be your best choice of the day.
