Oxford is the dream city, the celestial city, the city of dreaming spires; an architectural treasure trove in honey-coloured Cotswold stone, dedicated to love and learning. Here is the world's most famous university nestling among glorious streets, surrounded by delicious riverside walks astride the beautiful Thames and Cherwell, and bucolic countryside. And it's all captured in Ed Glinert's 111 Places in Oxford That You Shouldn't Miss.
