Hi Barnyz! What a wonderful video! your photography conjures up a fantastic atmosphere, of one of my most loved cities! A perfect way to unwind! Thankyou! Sue
@@Barnyz - You could have mentioned the "X" in the middle of Broad Street, outside the entrance to Balliol College, which marks the spot where the three Cambridge University-educated religious reformers, Archbishop Thomas Cranmer and Bishops Hugh Latimer and Nicholas Ridley were burned at the stake for Heresy and Schism at the height of the Marian Persecutions.
@@Barnyz - The three most prominent of the 280 men, women and children (both born and unborn) who went to the stake during the five bloody years that Mary I, our first Queen Regnant, occupied the throne of England were burned in what was then the dry moat which surrounded the City of Oxford. The moat ran parallel to, and just outside, the city's defensive wall, a remaining stretch of which can be seen in the courtyard of the notorious Turf Tavern. The Martyr's Memorial was erected in the most prominent place available at the time, intended as a dire warning to the University of Oxford's High Churchmen, who were busily driving forward a (long overdue) Catholic Revival within the Church of England. Evidence of another, much earlier, Catholic Revival within the Church of England may be seen in the beautiful Porch of the University Church of St. Mary the Virgin. Archbishop William Laud, then Chancellor of Oxford University, paid for it to be built out of his own pocket. The ornate Porch, complete with a statue of the Madonna and Child, cost Laud his life. He was martyred on Tower Hill in London on 10th January, 1645. Laud's headless body was interred in the Chapel of St. John's College, which has now become a place of pilgrimage for all those who see in the Church of England an integral part of the Church Universal, as catholic in her faith and her doctrine as she is in her government and her worship.
Excellent tour guys. We had no idea there are so many wonderful places to see in Oxford. A lot of really beautiful historic architecture and amazing museums. The natural history and Rivers museum look interesting. Fantastic video Barnyz. 👍👍 Cheers and have a great week. 🍻✌️
Thanks for watching. Ive lived not to far from Oxford for many many years and also never realised how much there is to do (and there are a lot of other colleges and museums as well). Its one benefit of making these videos is that it makes me really explore a place much more than i would normally. Have a great week, cheers from barnyz
When in Oxford, make sure to have a pint of Real Ale in the well-hidden "Turf Tavern" - the pub which played a cameo role in Thomas Hardy's last (and greatest) novel, appropriately entitled "Jude the Obscene". It's also where a young American Politics student called William Jefferson Clinton (in)famously smoked dope but didn't inhale the intoxicating fumes.
Thank you :) I did not see any famous people when i was there (and i also didnt get to sit in any pubs as I was too busy rushing everywhere with my camera, well there's always next time). Hope you have a great week :)
Thanks for the Oxford tour, Barnyz! One of my favorite cities in the UK. The architecture, history and relaxing atmosphere are unique. Wonderful production! Have a nice week!👏⭐🙂👍
Wow! Your video is full of precious cultural heritages! Your detailed description of Oxford in the United KIngdom helps a lot! Thank you for sharing your informative and helpful video, my dear friend! Hello! Greetings again from 100tour KOREA! Stay in touch, my dear friend! See you! Have a wonderful weekend!
Very colourful opening and a place we have never visited before and I like the fact that everything there is walkable. The cathedral looked stunning and reminds me a lot of Durham cathedra and a lot of real history there. Impressive museums there, most places are lucky to have one but three and such good ones too, so much more there than I would have expected. The inside of the chappal at Keble College was amazing, such a surprise. Who would want to live in London when you have a place like Oxford almost on your doorstep! Cheers Alan
Thank you Alan. Its for sure an impressive city. I had been many times in the past but had not visited Ashmolean museum before and it really blew me away with how much amazing stuff it had. Likewise for the various bits of the university I had never seen before. Have a great week, cheers from barnyz
Ciao, dear Barnyz! As always your contents are so interesting and enjoyable to watch! Oxfordis in my plans next time I'll visit London. Hope soon... This locatio is truly amazing and rich in history and your travel guide is really gelpful to know it better! My huge like and embrace and have a great week! Renata
Thank Renata for the lovely comment and for watching. I hope you can visit soon and I look forward to seeing your impressions of this fascinating city. Have a fantastic week, cheers from barnyz
Nice tour and information about Oxford Barnyz. I've never properly explored Oxford, but it is certainly on my list to do so. It is such a beautiful city.
Thanks. I had been many times in the past in a casual way but never really looked at it properly in depth, so it was very cool to look at the city from a different perspective and it made me realise just what an impressive place it is. Have a great week cheers from barnyz
Wonderful video with so much interesting information and great narration. Love all the beautiful buildings and historic architecture. Also, lovely landscapes, museum and more. Oxford England is amazing. Have a great weekend.
Been to those places this mid June; Magdalene College Christchurch College Oxford University, Radcliffe Camera 🤳 Bodleian Library. Also visited Ashmolean Museum 🖼️ and and the other one, Natural History Museum.
Omg what an amazing and informative video trip.. I enjoyed it so much. After this video I feel like I really need to visit Oxford now, the city should pay you for advertisement dude :). Thanks for sharing, I really loved it
I hope that he's a regular attendee at Evensong in the beautiful College Chapel! Has he ever watched a game of Real Tennis at the court just across the road? It's like a cross between Lawn Tennis and Squash!
You missed out on the magnificent Sheldonian Theatre, where Oxford University students collect their Degrees, whose painted ceiling is surely equal to that of the Sistine Chapel in Rome. There is a small viewing gallery on top of the building which, to my mind, offers by far the finest views of the City of Oxford's skyline. Why no mention of the Turf Tavern, the well-hidden medieval pub which played a cameo role in Thomas Hardy's great novel entitled "Jude the Obscene", where a young American Politics student called William Jefferson Clinton smoked dope but (supposedly) didn't inhale the intoxicating fumes? It might be worth mentioning that Oxford University has three Choral Foundations - Christ Church, Magdalen College and New College - where casual visitors can attend Evensong for free, whereas by rights they should be paying GBP 20 to hear world-class choirs singing for 45 minutes!
Thanks for watching. This video is just a top 10 so i could not include everything - perhaps next time I should do a top 15 or top 20. I am sad I missed the viewing gallery in the threater, as an amatuer photographer I love a good view so that is one for sure I will visit next time. As for pubs... everywhere has great pubs so i dont find them to be that special or interesting as a tourist and also im not that keen on drunk people :)

@@Barnyz for a pint try Turf Tavern tucked in between Holywell Street and New College - I haven't been back home in 9 years, so I hope it's still there, but since it's been there for centuries it probably is! I don't think they do meals. For pubs with food I'd go a bit further - the Talkhouse at Stanton St John, The White Hart at Whiteham or the Trout at Wolvercote. Food changes with pubs so, no guarantees. You'd have to go back and check them out!

Thanks for watching and I kind of agree. I'm not a Harry Potter fan... but i know its insanely popular and I want the video to be useful for as many people as possible so i felt I need to mention it
The colleges and Oxford in general need to cut loose the Harry Potter connections (at least brush it over), considering the city and colleges (at least three) have history going back a thousand years! That's way much longer than a book+movie franchise that's been around for only 27 years. The above, not directed at Barney in anyway - but at the trend to mention HP in various contexts related to sightseeing in Oxford, in general.
Why start with controversial leaders slant and then say let’s not dwell on that; why mention it then? (Actually of course Oxford has given us just about ALL our leaders because that’s where a goodly portion of the country’s most intelligent people are educated; can’t let Cameron Johnson colour that too much. After all it gave us Thatcher and May too😂 and Blair 😞)
I did consider editing that bit out as it's a travel video... but it creates a little contrast/context for the stunning architecture and culture shown in the video. Not many cities have had such a big influence so its a difficult topic to not mention.
Hi Barnyz! What a wonderful video! your photography conjures up a fantastic atmosphere, of one of my most loved cities! A perfect way to unwind! Thankyou!
Sue
Thank you Sue for the very kind comment, it made my day :)
Hi Barnyz, to date this is one of the best videos I have seen on Oxford. Great videography with plenty of info.
Thank you very much :)
Shame that the name of Hertford College was so badly mispronounced! It' should be said as "HArtford College" not as "HErtford College"!
I didn't think Oxford was so beautiful. Medieval but at the same time modern and alive. Thanks for showing it to us. Have a nice day Barnyz!
Thank you, Oxford is very unique and interesting with a lot of history. Have a great week, cheers from barnyz

I did not know about that. I had assumed they were burned where the memorial was. I will look out for it next time, thanks for the tip

Excellent video Barny! Last time we were in Oxford, sitting outside a pub near the Ashmoleum and David Attenborough walked by!
Thank you :) I did not see any famous people when i was there (and i also didnt get to sit in any pubs as I was too busy rushing everywhere with my camera, well there's always next time). Hope you have a great week :)
