Bridge of Sighs
This is one of many sights which we pass by on all tours. It was built just over 100 years ago and it connects two parts of Hertford college. Cambridge has a Bridge of Sighs too but this one you can get your photo under, as the one in Cambridge is a bridge over the Cam river.

The tour does not visit inside of the library since it's forbidden to guide inside the library but we will introduce it from the outside
