What is the Carfax Tower in Oxford?
Carfax Tower is one of Oxford's most recognisable landmarks, standing at the heart of the city. The tower is all that remains of the 12th-century St Martin's Church, the official city church of Oxford from 1122.
Where does the name Carfax come from?
The name "Carfax" derives from the Latin quadrifurcus via the French carrefour, both of which mean "crossroads". The Carfax Tower, also known as St Martin's Tower (the remaining part of the City Church of St Martin of Tours), is a prominent landmark and provides a look-out over the town.
How many steps are there in the Carfax Tower?
Due to the tower's historic nature, there is no lift, and access to the viewing platform involves climbing 99 narrow, winding steps.
What is the tallest building in Oxford?
Towering at 144 feet, Magdalen Tower is the tallest structure in Oxford proper, and from such a height, one gets a distinctive impression of how cosy Oxford is, with the city flanked by the gently rolling hills of the Cotswolds on the west, and the sharp incline of Headington Hill to the east.
