Traveler Photos of Oxford

Love that ochre shade Somewhere in Oxford. Liverpool, this church was bombed in WW2. St. Helen's Passage, where we walked through during the Ghost Tour (which was fascinating and very well guided I might add) where a lot of bloodshed occurred and where apparently there are lots of reports of a feeling of unease or anxiousness, and the smell of horses still residing from that day!
