    Heritage weekend...OXFORD

    Dec 31, 2019 4 minutes
    Feature Holly Reaney

    Home to poets, painters and scholars, Oxford is a melting pot of artistry and intellect. Reflecting on the city, Oscar Wilde wrote: ‘Oxford still remains the most beautiful thing in England, and nowhere else are life and art so exquisitely blended, so perfectly made one’. This is as true today as it was in 1885.

    The city’s elegant rows of yellow stone buildings are enchanting, and famed architectural icons stand on every corner. Inside you will discover art galleries, museums and libraries filled with stories of intellectual debates, inventions and academic achievements for which the city is known.
