Walking Oxford

by Vicky Wilson

The eight walks in this book look beyond Oxford’s famous dreaming spires to uncover a diverse story of millstreams and medieval lanes, breweries and jam factories, social housing and grand suburbs, religion and science. As well as including the many colleges and majestic University buildings, the walks explore the particular circumstances of the areas they cover and tell the stories of the extraordinary people who shaped Oxford’s history – and often that of the world beyond.
