C.S. Lewis & J.R.R. Tolkien Guided Walking Tour
What your day looks like
From earnest discussions of fantasy worlds in the Eagle and Child pub to the first inspiration of Narnia in St Mary’s Passage, C.S. Lewis and J.R.R. Tolkien’s masterpieces are interwoven with Oxford and its university. Both studied and taught at Oxford University, where the first seeds of their most well-known and beloved works began. Follow in the authors’ footsteps around their favorite Oxford haunts and hear the stories of their time at the university. Operating on selected Saturdays, this tour is perfect for those literarily inclined—fans of The Chronicles of Narnia, The Lord of the Rings, and The Hobbit—who want to learn more about these two greats of The Inklings Society and see where they lived and learned.
