Standing at the historic heart of Oxford, Carfax Tower is the last remaining part of the 12th-century St Martin’s Church, which served as Oxford’s official city church from 1122. In 1896, most of the church was demolished to improve traffic flow in the area.
The tower is 74 feet tall and no building in central Oxford may be constructed higher than it. Visitors can climb its 99 steps to enjoy panoramic views of Oxford’s iconic skyline.
Carfax Tower is centrally located, within walking distance of several major Oxford attractions, including Oxford’s Covered Market, The Story Museum, and Christ Church College.
