More information on Worcester College

Worcester's location is nowadays regarded as central, but it was once considered so isolated that the college was referred to as Botany Bay. The benefit of being on the edge of central Oxford is that Worcester has extensive grounds. The grounds extend to 26 acres and include a beautiful lake - unsurprisingly, they are one of the main attractions for visitors to the college. Worcester is also of considerable architectural interest, with a pleasing mix of neo-classical and medieval buildings. The latter are a reminder of the college's beginnings as a Benedictine college in the 13th century. Visits by appointment only: no groups.

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!
