The Oxford City and Castle Treasure Trail starts at:
This Trail provides a great overview of Central Oxford City, passing several famous squares, colleges and shopping areas and concluding at the Oxford Castle Quarter.
There are myriad cafes, restaurants, pubs and other eating establishments along the way, including several near the Castle itself.
You can easily make a full day of the Trail by visiting some of the fascinating attractions along the way, such as the Bodleian Library, one or more colleges and 'Oxford Castle Unlocked', where you can explore both the Castle and mound.
You may also choose to indulge in a little retail therapy by visiting Westfield Shopping Centre (which re-opened its doors to the public in 2017, following a major refurbishment), the famous Covered Market, or some of the many stores in Cornmarket, Broad and High Streets.
The Oxford City and Castle Murder Mystery Treasure Trail should be purchased prior to leaving home. Once you have your Trail booklet in your hand you're good to go! The easiest and quickest way to get the most up to date version of the Oxford City and Castle Treasure Trail is to order a download version off the website. You will instantly get a link to download a PDF file of the Trail for you to print at home. This can be done at any time of day or night for instant access. If you would like a hard copy, then choose the printed option online and we will pop one in the post for you to be delivered within 2-3 working days. If you are looking to do the Trail today and don't have a printer, we do have a couple of local retailers (use the search below) or why not purchase a download and go to a local library where you can print it off. If there are no other options though, with a little patience (due to scale and format) the Trail can be used on a tablet and at a push a phone. Sometimes you just want to speak to a real person though, so call one of the team on 01872 263692, Monday - Friday 9am - 5.30pm.
