Lonely Planet verdict: Oxford
"Oxford should be high on your list of must-dos in Britain, but remember that it's up there on everyone else's too. They come to see the university, spread across the town centre among 39 separate colleges ranging in age from 50 to over 600 years. The most beautiful of these are sumptuous, elegant examples of the best British architecture ... While Oxford thrives on tourism, its university has gone to great lengths to ensure it remains one of the world's foremost centres of tertiary education, rather than a giant academic theme park, by consistently restricting access to its colleges"
