A medieval Oxford college, a short step from Radcliffe Square, and a filming location for Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire. The scene is in the cloister, beside the chapel: a square courtyard of medieval arches with a great holm oak in the middle, which the college itself presents as the tree that appears in the film. Today it looks the same: the tree, the grass and the stone galleries around it, with no signs or set-ups.
What else can you see?
The visit continues to the chapel, with its tall ante-chapel and Jacob Epstein's Lazarus, and the dining hall, which the college describes as the oldest and tallest in Oxford and Cambridge, with sixteenth-century wood panelling. At the end, the walled garden. You are given a printed guide on arrival, and there is a leaflet in Spanish and a free audio guide that you download with a QR code.
How do you get in?
With a ticket bought on the college's website, which sells the general self-guided visit and guided tours at £25 to £30. The visitor entrance is on New College Lane; the college's website explains how to walk there from Radcliffe Square. The college closes on specific days for events and exams: check its scheduled closures before you go. It does not admit dogs, except assistance dogs, or tripods, and it has no parking.
