The Guild of Ransom tours to Oxford enter the town through the Iffley Road, pass over Magdalen[1] Bridge, turn right into Long Wall Street, again right into St Cross Road, left into South Parks Road, right into Parks Road, then left through Keble Road and left into St Giles’ Street. Here the coaches stop and the tour is continued on foot. In the course of its journey through these streets the coach passes the following places of interest.
