Of all the 14th and 15th century buildings that you'll get to see, one of the most beautiful is Christ Church College - founded by Henry VIII in 1548 and instantly recognisable to Harry Potter fans as one of the locations used in the movies, with its iconic bell tower designed by Sir Christopher Wren.

The highlight of your visit will be King's College Chapel. Started in 1446 during the reign of Henry VI, this gothic masterpiece took over 100 years to build and contains some amazing stained glass windows and the world's largest fan vault ceiling.
