Bank Holiday Weekend - Oxford

Last weekend we ticked Oxford off the bucket list, making use of the long bank holiday weekend. The prestigious University town turned it on with hot sun most of the weekend getting up to 22 degrees! The photos below are a pretty good roundup of the amazing buildings mostly owned by the Oxford University colleges.
