Hertford Bridge, often called "the Bridge of Sighs", is a skyway joining two parts of Hertford College over New College Lane in Oxford, England. Its distinctive design makes it a city landmark.

There is a false legend saying that many decades ago, a survey of the health of students was taken, and as Hertford College's students were the heaviest, the college closed off the bridge to force them to take the stairs, giving them extra exercise. However, if the bridge is not used, the students actually climb fewer stairs than if they do use the bridge.

Cowley Road Methodist Church, Oxford

Highlight • Other

"Cowley Road Methodist Church, Oxford was originally called Wesley Hall. The design of the church exterior by the architect Stephen Salter, was influenced by the 'arts and crafts' movement of the time. The asymmetric plan was very unusual. In 1972, the exterior of the church became Grade II listed.

The church first opened its doors for worship in September 1904. It was built to accommodate a rapidly developing congregation which had met at a chapel in Tyndale Road for the previous 20 years. The church owes its formation to this group of Christians, led and inspired by Walter Slaughter, a local grocer. A memorial tablet to Mr Slaughter still hangs in the church today, as does a tablet in honour of twenty-one men associated with the church who died in World War I."

Carfax Tower

Highlight • Historical Site

Carfax Tower is all that remains of St Martin's Church, which was the official church of Oxford from 1122 until 1896, when it was demolished to make more room for the traffic. Upon climbing the 99 steps to the top of the Tower, you can enjoy a beautiful view of Oxford’s skyline. It costs £3 to enter the tower.
