    ____________________________________________________
    After our first successful night car camping in the UK, we’re continuing our UK trip in the historic town of Oxford. In our budget Oxford travel guide, we’re exploring the city to see some of the most famous university buildings in the UK, see the Harry Potter filming locations and cows in the Christ Church meadow, and to sample some of the best street food in Oxford in the quaint Oxford Covered Market.
    It really is possible to visit all of Oxford’s famous landmarks and eat cheaply in Oxford. For tourists visiting Oxford on a budget, the park-and-ride to the city center is recommended as a lot of the city is pedestrianised and there is a green air charge for certain vehicles to enter Oxford’s zero emissions zone. The good news is it costs as little as £5 for 2 people to park and ride the bus from Oxford Parkway to the City Centre. The freshly wood-fired pizza and garlic bread only cost us £11, and the rest of the trip was free, so this UK trip vlog is a must-see for anyone wanting to planing to travel the world-famous old city of Oxford on a budget!

      The Ashmolean Museum, which contains Guy Fawkes's Lantern and Judge Bradshaw's bullet-proof hat, is free to visit. You can get into any Oxford University College (if it has a Chapel) for free simply by attending Evensong.

      Apart from those destroyed by the German Air Force during World War Two? Oxford - unlike Bath, Canterbury or Exeter - was never bombed by the Luftwaffe because Adolf Hitler planned to stay there after Great Britain had been invaded and conquered.

    Sometimes I thought students who have high grades can study in Oxford University until watching this video, even others who have different gradings can also afford it.

    • @dzung1969
      @dzung1969 Рік тому

      It’s not whether you can afford it, it’s all about getting the grades. All subjects require a minimum of 3 grade A’s at A levels or equivalent. In England we have many students who are from low income families who study here.

    You can get into Oxford University's Christ Church College completely free-of-charge by attending Choral Evensong in the Chapel, which doubles up as Oxford's Anglican Cathedral. Don't forget that they keep their clocks on Oxford Local Time rather than British Standard Time! Because Oxford is sixty miles west of London, there's a five minute difference between them.

    This couple need to check out heritage weekend on the second weekend in September. I had a cream tea in Harry Potters dining room for free. I mean, I had to pay for the cream tea but that’s all. Many places are free all over the country which make a charge the rest of the year

    Sensory overload! From the uniquely British view from atop a double-decker bus, to the gorgeous architecture you used as a breath-taking start to this tour. I have a strong suspicion Kiwi may have been employed as a docent at some point, or she had time to read up on Oxford while Bear drove. However it happened, you two put out a video that made it feel as if we were on a private tour.

      £18 to get into a university building. Really? This couple should check out heritage weekend. I had a cream tea in Harry Potter's dining hall for free. At least, I had to pay for the cream tea, but that’s all. Heritage weekend usually takes place every second weekend in September, I think, and lots of places all over the country are free which normally charge.
