Description

Oxford and Bodleian Library

Home to the oldest university in the English-speaking world, Oxford is a historic city full of quaint cobbled streets and magnificent points of interest. During your guided walking tour, you’ll stroll through charming college courtyards such as Trinity College. See the 13th-century University Church of St Mary the Virgin before enjoying entry to the 17th-century Bodleian Library featured in the Harry Potter film series. Wander through the Divinity School – a gothic-style room you might recognise as the Hogwarts infirmary. You will also explore Christ Church College and its Great Hall, which inspired the design of the Hogwarts dining hall.

Lacock

Adventure to Lacock to experience a beautifully preserved medieval village used in several Harry Potter scenes, such as Godric's Hollow and around Hogwarts. Enjoy the timber-framed cottages, quaint narrow pebbled streets, old village lock-up and lack of telephone cables and satellites before visiting Lacock Abbey. Marvel at its eerie and atmospheric cloisters that became the corridors of Hogwarts. Explore the classrooms where Professor Quirrell taught young wizards and witches the art of potion-making, and Professor Snape taught Defence Against the Dark Arts. Harry Potter fans will love it!
