For centuries, Europe’s finest wool came from the Cotswolds, much of which was traded at the bustling marketplace that fueled the growth of Chippy, as the locals affectionately call Chipping Norton. On this self-guided walking tour of this ‘wool town’, made rich by the trade of sheep and their fleeces, you’ll hear about Chipping Norton’s history and lesser-known quirks, like how Lord William Fitzalan’s hilltop manor ended up forcing the whole town to move up the hill. You’ll go on to explore St Mary the Virgin Church, one of the finest churches in the Cotswolds, with its origins in the 10th century. You’ll find the Theatre Chipping Norton, a charming establishment that is celebrated for its productions today, but was hugely controversial when it was first built.

Andrew provided us with an excellent and interesting insight into some of the key elements of Oxford’s history, architecture and academic life.

Oxford University Walking Tour With University Alumni Guide

Adrian_R, Oct 2026

A great tour with fantastic stories

It felt like a slightly chaotic start and the instructions here should tell you to go into the Tourist Information Centre to get your wrist band, not just to meet outside. But after talking to random people, we found out what we needed to do. Despite the bumpy start, we were greeted by Oscar, our guide. What an interesting and engaging young man; someone born to tell a good story. The tour took us to so many interesting locations. Oscar giving historical information and great insights into student life in Oxford. Thoroughly enjoyable and highly recommended. A great way to get to know about the Colleges and Oxford. Thanks Oscar!

Don’t miss this!

My wife and I had a wonderfully informative conversation with guide Jason Thomas as he walked us through the Oxford town and university and almost a thousand years of English history. We came to appreciate far better, the central role of Oxford in early British history and the development of higher education in the UK. We feel very fortunate that we could have Jason as our guide. He did a brilliant job.

Afternoon Tea and Boat Trip. An excellent combination!

I was only in Oxford for the day, and I couldn't pass up a trip down the river. I decided to arrive early and treat myself to an afternoon tea at the Folly Restaurant. It proved to be an excellent combination! Everyone I met during my experience was friendly, chatty and professional. I chose this one following other online recommendations, and I am glad I did. An excellent experience.
