One of the things I have enjoyed most about this summer so far is just walking around Oxford and discovering real Oxonian life. The shops, people and just hustle and bustle of the town is really a site to see. One site I have enjoyed the most was St. Mary’s church. The outside is truly breath-taking with its intricate architecture and centuries old stain glass windows that make it stand out from the shops around it. Once you walk inside, you see the still used church including the pulpit used by John Wesley. The most amazing part is defiantly the view from the top. After walking up very steep and narrow stairs, you are taken back from the magnificent view of Oxford. Every college is insight buried in the quaint town and bordered by rolling green hills. When one thinks of England, this should be the view in their head.

I agree- the view from St. Mary's Church is amazing.
Though it is was little unsettling to climb the stairs leading up to the tower (since I have a phobia of heights), the view from the church top was definitely worth the trek.
