Things to do in Oxford, England: The Best Monuments & Statues
In the "city of dreaming spires," academia takes center stage. Gaze out at Oxford's world-famous university from the top of Carfax Tower before heading into the city's pedestrian-friendly streets. Follow your nose to the Covered Market for the makings of a picnic to enjoy at Headington Hill Park. Mix the historic and modern with visits to the 12th-century village church of Iffley and trendy Cowley's ethnic shops and music venues.

The Church is super cute and peaceful. It is a little way on a path that is nice. The cemetery is pretty small, which made it easy to find CS Lewis’s grave. Very special spot.

You probably wouldn’t see this sculpture unless you were looking for it. It seems quite small to the naked eye, just seven feet high and perched way up high on the roof of the modern annexe of the booksellers, Blackwell on Broad Street. Once you do, it’s an impressive and very modern addition to the Oxford skyline. This is one of a series of 100 statues which make up the Another Time project by the celebrated sculptor, Anthony Gormley. They’re based on moulds of the artist’s own body. Just wish I’d had a pair of binoculars with me!

Being set at the far end of St Giles, the Martyrs Memorial is difficult to miss as you enter the city. Although often overlooked, the monument is well worth a closer inspection and a moment to consider what these three men achieved in the history of Britain. Cranmer, Latimer and Ridley all met their ends in nearby Broad Street, and the memorial is a fitting tribute to their sacrifice. It is a nice piece of architecture and definitely worth seeking out amidst the bustle of central Oxford - it should definitely be on any visitor's list.
