Tolkien, Lewis and the Inklings Oxford Tour

Tolkien, Lewis and the Inklings Oxford Tour

Explore the lives of two of Oxford's greatest writers, and their friendship, with an award-winning guide. On this tour we will follow in the footsteps of JRR Tolkien and CS Lewis. We will see where they studied, taught, lived, worshipped, lectured, wrote and - most importantly - drank with their friends the Inklings. Out of these friendships and conversations emerged Aslan, Gandalf and many other much-loved characters and stories. Both men became extremely famous in their lifetimes, but never gave up their day-jobs of teaching in the English department. We will explore CS Lewis's conversion to Christianity and late-life marriage to Joy Gresham, and hear about Tolkien's student pranks and life-long deep love for trees. We will end at the beautiful college of Magdalen, where Lewis taught for nearly 30 years and the Inklings met every Thursday. If you want to go inside it, you will need to pay the entrance fee, which is £9.50 adults/£8.50 concessions.

Cotswolds One Day Guided Walk - Private Groups

Cotswolds One Day Guided Walk - Private Groups

I am lucky enough to live in this postcard picturesque area on the edge of the famous Cotswolds region. It's easily reached from Oxford city- where I happen to be an experienced tour guide too. So if you book a tour with me, not only can I tell you lots about the Cotswolds heritage but also its connections to Oxford and eg the famous Oxford pre Raphaelite artists such as William Morris who lived in this region. On this tour, I will also introduce the historical sites such as the ruins of a medieval manor house and flora and fauna. I am a keen gardener myself. The route is total about 8-9 miles walking and we stop for a garden lunch pub stop. The cost of lunch is not included but a table is reserved. The walking route is part on walking paths through the meadows and part on quiet scenic country lanes. If the tour does not show as available on the date that you would like to book it, ask viator to call us. We avoid listing dates too far outside spring or autumn weather.

Oxford is a brand, a symbol of an ideal education with centuries of tradition and the latest improvements. The city and the university are inseparable, like a body and the beating heart within it. The ancient streets are filled with the atmosphere of student youth, perseverance and determination – the best of the best study here. This place is perfect for informal walks in the company of local guides. Whether you're interested in the mysteries of antiquity or architecture, the Harry Potter filming or university, or all of the above, there are many interesting themed tours of Oxford to choose from!

Oxford's sights are elegant and intellectual. There are 38 colleges at the university, and visitors are most often interested in Christchurch, Magdalen, Trinity and Merton. Some of them can be seen from the inside. The magnificent Bodleian Library consists of several buildings, the most prominent of which is the Radcliffe Rotunda. The Sheldonian Theatre is a traditional venue for university events. Fans of antiquity will be drawn to the Ashmole Museum of Art and Archaeology, but there are plenty of open-air antiquities in and around Oxford.

Within the city limits, Old England is represented by Oxford Castle and Carfax Tower. In the surrounding countryside, where local guides will be happy to take you on a tour by car, you will be enchanted by such unique monuments as the White Horse (an artifact of primitive times), Dorchester Abbey, Waddesdon Manor and Blenheim Palace.

Oxford and its suburbs are full of memories of famous people who lived, studied and created here. "Centers of attraction for many of them were the city's pubs. For example, in "The Eagle and Child" sat Lewis and Tolkien, and in "Turf Tavern" – the future president of the United States Bill Clinton. It is impossible not to touch these time-keepers and sit in them with a pint of ale.
