At only £2 it really is worth going up the CarFax tower to see the view. Best to do it on a clear day as you can then see pretty much the whole of Oxford from the far side of Botley to Cowley and BlackBird Leys. Most importantly, the aerial view of the spires and cathedrals are really great.

Getting up means going up a tight spiral staircase. I am claustrophobic but just about found it okay. As the above post says though, be careful as over weight as the stair case really is very tight.

If you really want to take in Oxford's dreaming spires at their best, it is worth spending £2 to climb the Carfax tower in central Oxford. It affords some panoramic views and some interesting historical information on the way up! The tall, winding staircase is not for the faint-hearted or the overweight, however.
