Views from the Tower

I discovered another treasure in Oxford a few weeks ago -- The Tower of the University Church of St. Mary. The tower commands some of the finest views of Oxford's famous skyline. It is worth the climb of 127 steps to make it to the top to enjoy fine uninterrupted views in all directions across Oxford and the surrounding countryside.  It is now on my list of "must see" for visitors.
