Carfax Tower
Description
Carfax Tower, or more correctly the tower of St Michaels Church, albeit the tower is the only surviving part of the building. The junction it overlooks is considered to be the very centre of Oxford and from the roof of the tower, a 99 step climb up some quite narrow stairs, the views over the city's dreaming spires and across towards the hills of the countryside beyond are breath-taking. The views are helped by the fact that no building in the centre of Oxford is allowed to be taller than the Carfax Tower so it's views are unobstructed. Slightly strangely the tower is operated by the local bus company using the City Sightseeing branding.
