Great Britain’s oldest seat of learning was established in the 12th century, when English scholars were expelled from the Sorbonne in Paris. The university’s influence is everywhere, though it does not seem to dominate the town in quite the way Cambridge University does. For a whistle-stop tour of town and university history, visit the Oxford Story Exhibition, or to soak in the sights, why not hire a punt, and cruise along the River Cherwell? Oxford University owns a stunning collection of works of art, many of them on display in the Ashmolean Museum.
