Fatti rapidi: The tower stands 23 meters tall and once served as Oxford's main town gate. From the top, you can catch panoramic views stretching up to the Cotswolds on a clear day.
Punti salienti: Climbing the 99 narrow steps leads to a bell chamber with four ancient bells that chime the hours. Visitors often pause to hear the unique sound echo across the historic marketplace below.
