This trail follows the lives and exploits of a number of roguish males through their associations with Oxford, involving visits to colleges and other places of interest in the city. Best at night, but also suitable for a day-time tour, this trail passes Wadham, Trinity, Exeter, Balliol and University Colleges; some of the famous pubs of Oxford such as the Lamb and Flag and Kings Arms; and some relevant city locations such as the Playhouse and Annabelinda's shop.
