Experts' Choice Award University Church of St. Mary the Virgin
What the experts agree on
Oxford's St. Mary the Virgin showcases stunning Gothic architecture spanning centuries, but the real draw is climbing the 14th-century tower for panoramic views of the city's dreaming spires—worth the 127 steps.
“The top of the 14th-century tower has a panoramic view of the city's skyline. It's worth the 127 steps. The Vaults and Garden Café, part of the church accessible from Radcliffe Square.”
