Begin your Oxford adventure at the imposing blue gates of Trinity College, one of the university's wealthiest and most architecturally impressive colleges. Founded in 1555 by Sir Thomas Pope, on the site of the former Durham College, Trinity boasts stunning quads, a vibrant student community, and an atmosphere steeped in academic tradition. Wander through its meticulously maintained gardens, admire the grandeur of its chapel, and soak in the ambiance of this historic institution. A true highlight is the college's extensive collection of portraits, including those of its notable alumni.

Explore its stunning cloisters, admire the stained-glass windows in the chapel, and stroll through its perfectly manicured gardens. Notably, New College served as a filming location for the Harry Potter films, adding a touch of movie magic to its historical charm.
