CS Lewis & Tolkien Tour with Magdalen Entry

We will talk about CS Lewis and JRR Tolkien's work and their membership of the Inklings Writers club here in Oxford

On dates that Magdalen college may be closed, we will instead visit Exeter college. Exeter college is where Tolkien studied

We often stop at the entrance of exquisite Lincoln College to look at the entry area to the quadrangle and to spot the statue of John Wesley, who studied here, as did the writer of 'Dr Seuss' stories too

We spend one hour on average inside Magdalen College on this tour, and this is where CS Lewis taught. It has a medieval hall, and a canteen where we can stop for a coffee to enjoy the punting boats passing us by outside. There is a deer park and Addison's walk, which is where CS Lewis and JRR Tolkien walked and talked. There is a medieval hall and chapel plus an impressive main quadrangle and the tower

We will introduce you to where CS Lewis preached and developed many of his books from sermons here. We also will see the Mr Tumnis and Aslan lookalike figures outside the church which are alleged to have inspired CS Lewis to write, 'The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe'. We often also end the tour at this location

We often pass down the lane to see this famous pub or to see the Eagle and Child pub where the Inklings met over a drink to discuss their writing and life
