Having spawned the legendary Alice in Wonderland, Bilbo and
Frodo Baggins, the Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe, and Harry
Potter's Hogwart's School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, Oxford is not
only England's oldest centre for learning, but the home and
inspiration of such famous authors as Lewis Carroll, C S Lewis, J R
R Tolkien, and recently one of the key locations in the Harry
Potter films. The city's dreaming spires house the famous Ashmolean
Museum and the Museum of Modern Art, and whether lazing on one of
the college quadrangles, punting down the river or exploring the
city's ancient heritage, Oxford promises something for visitors of
all ages.
