The historical city of Oxford is perhaps most famous for having one of the best universities in the world. With colleges spread all over the centre of town, the campus boasts breathtaking architecture, impressive museums and some of the best libraries in the country.
Oxford’s historic buildings have been the backdrop for many famous TV shows and film sets. From Inspector Morse to Harry Potter, explore some of the locations in and around the city which have played host to world famous actors and walk in the footsteps of the stars.
