A Cycling Journey

March 27, 2022

"Magdalen Tower is one of the oldest parts of Magdalen College, Oxford, situated directly in the High Street.

Built of stone from 1492, when the foundation stone was laid, its bells hung ready for use in 1505, and completed by 1509, it is an important element of the Oxford skyline. At 144 feet (44 m) high, it is among the tallest buildings in Oxford. It dominates the eastern entrance to the city, towering over Magdalen Bridge and with good views from the Botanic Garden opposite."

Iconic building as your cross the bridge into Oxford, just a taste of things to come, the junction here can be a little confusing and the cycle route signage is well concealed.
