点评:I've visited St Mary's before but didn't have the opportunity to climb the tower. So, I was pleased that I had a few minutes to spare during my last visit to Oxford.
There are a lot of steps 127 to be precise, some of which are quite steep and narrow. so it isn't a totally easy climb. Space is at a minimum when you get to the top and there is only one way up and one way down. It's rather up close and personal, but I did meet some lovely people from the Netherlands and Germany.
Is it worth it for the view? Absolutely, on a sunny day! The views from the tower are fantastic. Looking down at the Radcliffe Camera will remain in my memory for some time.
Entry to St Mary's is free (donations welcome), but the tower ascent costs £6. I thought that was a bargain. The staff on duty monitor the number of visitors climbing the tower which is absolutely essential to avoid overcrowding so you may have to queue at busy times.
Don't forget your camera!
翻译:我以前去过圣玛丽教堂,但没机会爬塔。所以,上次去牛津的时候,我很庆幸自己有几分钟的空闲时间。
塔楼有很多台阶,准确地说是127级,有些台阶又陡又窄,所以爬起来并不容易。到达顶部后,空间非常狭小,而且只有一条上行和一条下行的路。虽然有点近距离接触,但我还是遇到了一些来自荷兰和德国的友善朋友。
为了欣赏美景,值得吗?绝对值得,尤其是在阳光明媚的日子!从塔楼上看到的景色美极了。俯瞰拉德克利夫图书馆的景象会在我的记忆中停留一段时间。
圣玛丽教堂免费入场(欢迎捐款),但登塔需要6英镑。我觉得很划算。值班工作人员会监控爬塔的游客人数,这绝对有助于避免过度拥挤,所以在繁忙时段,你可能需要排队。
别忘了带相机!
