Going up the Carfax Tower is so worth doing. I got 360 view of the entire town. It's a tiny yet amazingly constructed tower that's just right at the heart of Oxford. I love the view up the tower. There was no queue on Sunday lunch time that let me enjoy the view at my own pace. The tower has a tiny steep stairs around 99 steps so not for very small children or people with mobility problems.
The view from the roof of Carfax Tower is the finest in Oxford for the general public. The stairs are winding, steep and tiring but well worth the effort on a fine day.
Carfax Tower, a prominent landmark in Oxford, is the sole remaining portion of the 12th-century St. Martin's Church, which served as the city's official church for centuries. In 1896, the church was largely demolished to alleviate traffic congestion at the busy crossroads of Carfax, leaving the tower as a historical vestige. You can climb the 99 steps to the top for panoramic views of Oxford, and only £4.
My daughter loved climbing up the stairs to see the top. You can see the whole city from the roof.
A good view here over Oxford. A bit sketchy getting up but once there, fantastic views over thr middle of town
