Welcome to Oxford, the city of Dreaming Spires! Named the most beautiful city in the UK by a recent study, this is a place immersed in culture and history (with over 1500 historic listed buildings), home to the oldest university in the English-speaking world and a place renowned for its friendly and lively atmosphere. It’s no wonder so many have been inspired by its beauty.

As the Quest is self guided you can:
* Start your Quest whenever you want, get instant access with nothing to print off from home
* Go as fast as you want and try to top the leaderboard, or go at your own pace, stopping for rest breaks along the way.
Your Quest will start in the historic medieval centre of the city and wind your team through its iconic streets before leading you through the grounds of some of the University of Oxford’s most famous colleges, nipping in and out of small alleyways to end at the historic Oxford Castle and Prison. During your Quest learn about Town & Gown clashes, discover where C.S. Lewis may have found some inspiration, see if you can spot J.R.R. Tolkien's ghost and visit where former US President Clinton ‘didn’t inhale’ all while dodging students on bicycles rushing about.
So grab your caps & gowns, put on some comfy shoes and get ready to explore the sights, discover hidden gems and ultimately, conquer your Oxford City Centre Quest!
