The Adventures of Debbie Dimples - The UK - Oxford

Oxford

The historic city of Oxford is famous for being home of the prestigious Oxford University - one of the oldest universities in England. Together with the university, the city is also famous for its captivating, gothic architecture. The city is known for being particularly beautiful during the spring with the blooming of wisteria. I visited Oxford for one day during the wisteria season, in May 2026. Some of the sights I managed to see on my trip included the famous Magdalen College, Radcliffe Camera, Divinity School and the Bridge of Sighs. I also stopped off at the Grand Cafe for some soup, tea and cake.
