See Christ Church Cathedral. This is where Lewis Carroll aka the Reverend Charles Dodgson was an Oxford Don and wrote his classic story, Alice in Wonderland. Alice Liddel was the daughter of Dean Liddel, at Christ Church, and Carroll took a liking to her. He used to take Alice and her sister out on the River Cherwell to row around and make up stories. Besides the rather obvious implications of his possible pedophelia, he actually did ask Alice to marry him a few times. I believe she was 11. Nonetheless, he's a brilliant writer and this College is steeping in rich history. If you can get inside the dining hall, you can see the firescreen decorated with what is believed to be the inspiration for John Tenniel's first rendering of Alice for the book.

Daily Info is the go-to site for anything Oxford. Very similar to Craigslist in New York, Daily Info offers everything from accomodation (wanted and offered), sales of bikes, cars, clothes, etc, offering of services, jobs (wanted and offered), personal ads and local events! It's sort of a Time Out site for Oxford. Everything you'd want to know before visiting Oxford (or even while you're here!), you can find at dailyinfo.co.uk!
Packing List
by bluefelt
Comfortable Shoes. Ilana and I wore holes all the way through pairs of boots in our travels. In the Spring it gets really cold. Bring a warm jacket, hat, scarf, gloves, the whole shebang! You'll need it. The day the sun came out, and I do mean the DAY, people rushed to the nearest shoe store (we chose to go to Ravel) to buy sandals. It was like a massive swarm of happy people in the mall....that makes me nervous.
