Oxford Audio Tour: Legends, Lions, and Lost Scholars

Embark on the Oxford Audio Tour: Legends, Lions, and Lost Scholars

A martyr’s stone rises above the rush of Oxford’s streets, while a theatre roof—built on a wager against English rain—silently guards ancient secrets just steps away. Every corner here seems steeped in rebellion, hidden ambition, and shadows from centuries past.

On this self-guided audio tour, plunge into Oxford’s winding heart to unlock stories many miss: whispered plots at the Martyrs’ Memorial, silent standoffs in the Bodleian’s grand halls, and electrifying ceremonies beneath the Sheldonian’s painted dome.
