Overview

The best view of Oxford from its most iconic tower. By historical decree, no other building in Oxford can be built higher than it.

Inclusions

  • Carfax Tower Entry
  • Entry/Admission - Carfax Tower

What to expect

Visit: Carfax Tower, Corner of Carfax and Cornmarket, Oxford OX1 England

The tower is all that remains of the 13th century St Martin’s Church, the official city church of Oxford from 1122. In 1896, the main part of the church was demolished to make more room for traffic in the area. The tower is 74 feet tall and no building in central Oxford may be constructed higher than it. As such, it’s possible to climb the 99 steps to the top of the tower for an amazing view over the Oxford skyline. Hop off the Open Top Bus at Stop 7 to visit us!

I've just done the 90 min walking tour with Chris and it was an amazing experience. Chris has an excellent knowledge of Oxford history! Highly recommended!

Lovely views (despite damp grey day), good to get your bearings. Not a strenuous or difficult climb although staircase with 99 steps is narrow. Great tips & local knowledge from Jules at the desk for places to visit in Oxford- couldn’t see them all today but we will be back- thanks Jules!

A surprising highlight of my day in Oxford. Pitched perfectly at £3 it was excellent value. Had a lovely sunny crisp day to admire the Oxford skyline and had the place to myself! A few information panels halfway up and a great way to get my bearings in the city.

Four of us went up late on a Sunday when the weather was playing ball for a change in summer 2023. We enjoyed the views and appreciated the breaks to get a quick breather on the way up.
