Overview
The minute we watched "A Discovery of Witches", we fell in love with the characters, the setting, and the story. We already loved Oxford, the city of dreaming spires, and we rushed out to buy the whole trilogy of books in the series. From this, our "A Discovery of Witches"/All Souls Trilogy tour was born.
Our "A Discovery of Witches"/ All Souls Trilogy Tour takes the hassle out of discovering the best locations from the hit TV series and the books. Our guide, who is a qualified member of the Oxford Guild of Tour Guides, will show you Matthew and Diana's Oxford and explain how Deborah Harkness created the book series from her experience of visiting Oxford and studying at Keble College.
During the tour, we will explain the history of the locations you visit, detail any unique points of interest, and explain how these locations relate to both the books and TV series.
Itinerary
Ashmolean Museum of Art and Archaeology
Elias Ashmole the founder of this world-famous museum features as a historical figure in the Discovery of Witches series. Who was Elias Ashmole? What did he do? And is Ashmole 782 real and if so where is it?
15 minutes
Blackwell's Bookshop
Located opposite the Bodleian Library and the Sheldonian Theatre, Blackwell's is a bookshop not to be missed. This Aladdin's cave of learning offers every type of book that an Oxford University student, staff member, or visiting lecturer might wish for. Mentioned as the place where Diana goes for her lunch, we will give you time to explore Blackwells and purchase as many books as take your fancy!
10 minutes
Exeter College
Exeter College is one of the filming locations for series one of "A Discovery of Witches". This beautiful college is where Matthew and Diana can be seen walking together, with the college's chapel behind them. Whilst here we can spend time recreating the scene so that you have an extra special photo to take home with you, as well as discussing the famous alumni of the college who include the literary giants J. R. R. Tolkien, Alan Bennett, and Philip Pullman.
20 minutes
The White Horse (Pass By)
The White Horse is a traditional British boozer that dates back to the 16th Century. This listed building offers homemade food, including fish and chips, and traditional pies that will warm the blood of even the coldest Vampire. Seen several times in the TV series of "A Discovery of Witches", and renowned for its classic British ales it is also a filming favourite for the TV series "Morse", "Endeavour" and "Lewis".
All three pubs (The Turf Tavern, The King's Arms and The White Horse) can be visited on the day and are either mentioned or seen in the book and TV series. Customers are welcome to stop in one of the pubs for a quick drink depending on their own tastes and preferences on the day.
N/A (Pass By)
This pub, dating back to the 17th century claims that it is an "education in intoxication" and is operated by the Greene King Pub Company and is a favourite of students, and tourists alike. It's said that Richard Burton, Elizabeth Taylor, Tony Blair, CS Lewis, Stephen Hawking, and Margaret Thatcher all drank here, and it's at this pub where Bill Clinton famously "did not inhale!"
All three pubs (The Turf Tavern, The King's Arms and The White Horse) can be visited on the day, and are either mentioned or seen in the book and TV series. Customers are welcome to choose between the pubs depending on their own tastes and preferences on the day.
N/A (Pass By)
The King's Arms is one of the lunch options for this tour and is a short walk from New College, The Turf Tavern, and The White Horse. Mentioned in the opening chapter of "A Discovery of Witches" as where Diana and Sean would drink during their "graduate student days" this pink pub is a delight to behold and a hot spot with students and their lecturers.
All three pubs (The Turf Tavern, The King's Arms and The White Horse) can be visited on the day, and are either mentioned or seen in the book and TV series. Customers are welcome to choose between the pubs depending on their own tastes and preferences on the day.
New College (Pass By)
New College, or The College of St Mary of Winchester in Oxford to use its original name, is Diana's college and is mentioned widely throughout the book and TV series of "A Discovery of Witches". This beautiful college is one of the largest in Oxford, and whilst here we will explore both the buildings and grounds which Diana would be familiar with including the college's cloisters, chapel (which offers unique features including a painted window designed by Sir Joshua Renolds) and the great hall.
Bodleian Library
The Bodleian Library is one of the most amazing places to visit in Oxford, seen in both "A Discovery of Witches" and "Harry Potter" it's a library whose magic is all its own. Mentioned numerous times throughout the All Souls Trilogy, and seen in "A Discovery of Witches" (sadly we cannot access the Selden End of the Library, which is seen in "A Discovery of Witches" but this should not deter visitors as the rest of the Library is still a sight to behold!) visiting the library is full of all the quaint charm and scholarly stiffness that you would expect from the book and TV series.
1 hour
Radcliffe Camera (Pass By)
Radcliffe Camera is one of the most iconic buildings in Oxford. Part of the Bodleian Library, this building is sadly only accessible to staff and students of Oxford University. However, it does not stop us from enjoying this architectural marvel that is seen throughout series 1 of "A Discovery of Witches" and is somewhere that both Diana and Matthew would be intimately acquainted.
All Souls College
All Souls College is where Matthew has his rooms. Sadly most of the college is off-limits to visitors, but this won't stop us from enjoying the publically accessible quadrangle or "quad" where your guide will tell you about this unique college, its history and why it has no students!
10 minutes
Oxford Covered Market
Oxford Covered Market is home of the Brown Cafe. This highly praised cafe is the inspiration for the cafe where Matthew invites Diana for breakfast in the book of A Discovery of Witches.
Seen in the A Discovery of Witches TV series, this Cafe will be our first stop, where you can get a quick bite to eat and drink before heading off on the rest of the tour.
