Bodleian library is one of historical place in Oxford University campus. It's front opposite to Radcliffe Camera. I visited this place last month. Now I am back to india. But I miss this place and surrounding. It's a very good place with a restaurant inside.
It's well connected with Oxford city via regularly running busses…
in November 2025 I visited – yes it was cold , recommended to bring your warm clothes. Take care of cold temperature some times -2. So take care of your health.
I am sharing some footages of nearby Oxford. Have a look & enjoy this historical place…
Go to UK and enjoy this historic place inside Oxford campus… thanks

The Bodleian Library is one of the most impressive and historic places in Oxford. The architecture is magnificent, with stunning medieval details and beautifully preserved reading rooms that reflect centuries of academic tradition.
Walking through the library feels like stepping into history. The atmosphere is calm, inspiring, and full of character. The guided tours are informative and give fascinating insight into the university’s heritage and the library’s remarkable collections.
It’s an unforgettable experience for anyone who appreciates history, literature, or architecture. A true highlight of Oxford and highly recommended.

A really interesting visit, with lots of info from
our guide Hannah. I opted for the short (half hour) tour which gave a really good insight into the history and running of the Bodleian. Buildings are just beautiful, and the reading rooms are amazing. Would definitely recommend a visit!
