I hope to get a ticket for Oxford Utd away and would like to stay overnight and visit one or more of the colleges the next day. I shall be grateful if anyone can give any advice on which are the more interesting colleges to visit. Thank you.
- Worcester, for the ducks! - Magdalen cos it's Magdalen. - Balliol is pretty. - Keble is dinstictive as Pelling says - Christ Church again really pretty too
oxford is a fantastic city for a couple of days me and the mrs done a sightseeing bus which was great then a boat trip past all the boat houses of the different colleges
I did b&b at Christ Church college a few years ago. Was amazing, especially having breakfast in the main hall where Charles 1 had his parliament during the English civil war. Worth checking out as the game is out of term time so may be available. Also lots of Harry potter stuff filmed there apparently.
Even if the ground might not reflect it, we actually have a number of really nice places in our division, when you think of Oxford, Cheltenham, Lincoln, Shrewsbury and Cambridge

Thanks again for all your suggestions. I did b&b in the old library at Christ Church College. The dining hall was amazing as we're the buildings. Then a tour around Magdalene College and grounds which was another spectacular location with bucket loads of history thrown in. It was probably the highlight of the trip. Finished off with a visit to New College which was a smaller site and for me the City Wall along one side of the garden was the most impressive part. By the time I got to the Bodleian Libraries and Radcliffe Camera mid afternoon the place was crawling with fellow tourists and it became less enjoyable. It stopped being quaint historical Oxford so I set off home. All in all I had a fabulous visit.
