Oxfordshire Treasure and Scavenger Hunts

Another one of our great venues for a treasure hunt or scavenger hunt - explore the University City of Oxford on foot or by car. Our treasure hunts will take you to the most popular parts of Oxford, as well as some of the lesser known but equally fascinating, places.

Occupation of the place known now as Oxford can be traced back to the Anglo-Saxons at a point where the rivers could be forded. The two rivers that flow through Oxford are the Cherwell and the Thames, the latter is named the Isis in the vicinity of Oxford. The town is probably best know for being the seat of the oldest English speaking university, with University College, Balliol and Merton being established in the middle of the 13th century. In the 20th century, it was noted for the Morris car factory at Cowley which produced the iconic Morris Minor. Under British Leyland, the factory became uneconomic and eventually closed.

The architecture of Oxford is spectacular and endlessly fascinating. It has been made familiar through the hughely popular Inspector Morse TV detective series and also in the Harry Potter films (which used Christ Church College for some of the location work. Oxford is only a short distance from London so why not transport your team to this 'City of Dreaming Spires' for a memorable day's corporate event or team building?
