'Ello, Oxford!


Home of C.S. Lewis, Tolkien, Lewis Carroll, and so many other greats.





We simply strolled around the town, seeing the sights, exploring, getting a little bit lost...

We first saw a wonderful and quite quaint castle and a prison. Now however, the castle serves as a museum, and the prison, hotel!






We then walked around town, saw the campuses of the University of Oxford (there are like 30 something different bits!), and ended at Christ's Church.
















For those of you unaware, Christ's Church is incredibly significant.

1. Alice Lidell (for whom Alice in Wonderland was written for) lived and played in these gardens with Lewis Carroll himself.

2. Several scenes of Harry Potter were filmed here. Most known, the Great Hall.

3. So many incredibly important people in the culture of the world studied here.
