Why go

The High connects several major Oxford sights without reducing them to a single institution. Look west along its curve, then compare University College and The Queen's College across the street. The church, shopfronts and college walls show how civic, religious and academic life have shared this route for centuries.

What to look for

  • The High's gentle curve opens changing views between Carfax and Magdalen Bridge.
  • University College and The Queen's College frame a westward view along the street.
  • The University Church's south porch stands among the college frontages.

Useful to know

  • Walk from Carfax towards Magdalen Bridge to follow the changing college frontages.
  • Turn into Radcliffe Square for the Radcliffe Camera, then return to the High for the eastern colleges.
