Often described as the crossroads of Oxford, Carfax sits at the point where the city's four main streets meet and has been the heart of Oxford for centuries. Surrounded by historic buildings, shops, cafés and colleges, it's the natural starting point for exploring the city's many attractions.

The surviving Carfax Tower is all that remains of the 12th-century St Martin's Church and offers one of the best viewpoints in Oxford. Climb the narrow staircase to the top and you'll be rewarded with panoramic views across the city's famous spires, rooftops and college quads. Whether you're orientating yourself or simply taking in the skyline, Carfax is a landmark every visitor passes through.
