The Pitt Rivers Museum in Oxford does things a bit The Pitt Rivers Museum in Oxford does things a bit differently. It packs in 55,000 artefacts into this space and organises them by type rather than era or area of origin. Its a very impressive collection and covers a massive range of people and time peroids. It was founded by British Army Office Augustus Pitt Rivers who donated his private collection of 22,000 items in 1884. #museum #visitoxford #history #historymuseum #pittsriversmuseum #traveltribe #daytrip
Yesterday on our trip to Oxfore me and @bethofhyru Yesterday on our trip to Oxfore me and @bethofhyrule visited Christ Church College. Its part of Oxford University. The first pic here is its famous staircase. Apparantly it features in a certain film about a wizard (yes I mean Harry Potter). The 2nd pic is the oldest known student graffiti in Oxford Uni. It is reffering to Robert Peel, who studied at the college and went on to become Prime Minister. He was in favour of Catholic emancipation and the university was not. Hence the sentiment against him. The 3rd pic is a view across the college as you enter through the vistor entrance. Its very picturesque! #visitoxford #visitengland #oxforduniversity #history #travelphotography #harrypotter #instatravel #traveltribe #travelblog #historicalbuilding
Hertford Bridge in Oxford, which is also known as Hertford Bridge in Oxford, which is also known as 'The Bridge Of Sighs'. This is because it was alleged to have been based on the bridge in Venice by that name, though that is apparantly not the case. It connects different parts of Hertford College together. The college is part of the University of Oxford. The bridge itself was built in 1914. #bridge #oxford #visitoxford #visitengland #history #englishhistory #travelpic #instatravel #travelphotography
Another view of the Radcliffe Camera in Oxford. It Another view of the Radcliffe Camera in Oxford. It really is a stunning building! #oxford #visitoxford #visitengland #history #historicalbuilding #oxforduniversity #travelpic #instatravel #travelgram
The Radcliffe Camera in Oxford. It is owned by the The Radcliffe Camera in Oxford. It is owned by the Oxford University and is used today as an academic libary. It was constructed between 1737 and 1749, funded by £40,000 pounds left by Dr John Radcliffe after his death in 1714. It was designed by James Gibbs who is considered one of Britains most noteable architects. I found it to be a very impressive building and I imagine it is very inspiring for students who study there. #oxford #history #englishhistory #britishhistory #travel #instatravel #travelgram #libary #explore #visitengland #visitoxford #oxfordshire #travelpic #daytrip
The Keep at Cardiff Castle. A wooden fortress was The Keep at Cardiff Castle. A wooden fortress was first built here in 1081 by the Normans. After conquering England they were invading Wales during this peroid. This stone keep was then built later in the 1130's. There was actually Roman fortifications on this site built around 55 CE to 80CE that lasted until the 4th century, but it was then abandoned until the Normans came along. I enjoyed visiting the Castle today with @bethofhyrule , there are alot of cool things to see here. #cardiff #history #castle #wales #visitwales #visitcardiff #instatravel #travelphotography
To finish off the pics from me and @bethofhyrule ' To finish off the pics from me and @bethofhyrule 's visit to York here is a collection taken as we walked around the city. There are some great building's in York and many more I didn't get a photo of! The last one is the sign for the Ghost Walk we did on our last night. It's said to actually be the world's first Ghost Walk, having started around 1973. York is a apparantly a very haunted city, so there are many ghost walks operating now. But we went with the world's orginal as that is a pretty cool achievment to have. #york #visityork #ghostwalk #buildings
When me and @bethofhyrule visited York over the la When me and @bethofhyrule visited York over the last weekend we took a daytrip to Knaresborough. Found a great spot for lunch down by the River Nidd. #knaresborough #england #visitengland #travel #travelblogger #instatravel #travelgram #northyorkshire
