Walking Oxford tells the story of the city, its people and places in eight surprising walks. Readers will explore many of the colleges and majestic University buildings, but also look beyond the famous dreaming spires to uncover a diverse story of millstreams and medieval lanes, breweries and jam factories, social housing and grand suburbs.

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.
