Carfax Tower

The Carfax tower is all that remains of the 12th century St Martin’s Church, the official city church of Oxford from 1122. In 1896, the main part of the church was demolished to make more room for traffic in the area.

The tower is 74 feet tall and no building in central Oxford may be constructed higher than it. As such, it’s possible to climb the 99 steps to the top of the tower for an amazing view over the Oxford skyline. Hop off the Bus Tour at Stop 8 to visit us!

Entry to the tower costs just £4 for adults, £3 for children and we have a range of great value packages to help you see more of the city for less.



Opening hours

November – February: 10:00 – 15:00
March: 10:00 – 16:00
April – September: 10:00 – 17:00
October: 10:00 – 16:00

The last entrance to the tower will be 15 minutes before closing.

If you need further information, please contact this telephone number: +44 (0)1865 790522.

Please note this attraction is not suitable for under 5s. Children aged 5 – 15 must be supervised by an adult at all times.
