Somewhat younger than many people recognise, this iconic bridge links the Old and New quads of Hertford College. Pretty much every film or tv show set in Oxford will include it.
Spectacular and iconic bridge which joins two parts of Hertford College, just off Radcliffe Square, and worth the effort to locate. Great photo opportunity.
So beautiful bridge

The Bridge of Sighs is actually a kind of corridor spanning between two buildings. It is quite common in ancient European architecture in China. The Bridge of Sighs in Oxford is dubbed as the Bridge of Sighs on Dry Water by Cambridge University because it is just a street below. It is not a waterway, but the bridge is well preserved, and the decoration is also very beautiful. The location is near the famous circular library, which is not difficult to find.
This is a very beautiful bridge, on the Cam River, you can take a boat tour (boat tour). The bridge is named after the original Venetian Bridge of Sighs (Ponte dei Sospiri), which was built around 1600 and connected the prison to the interrogation room, so prisoners would "sigh" when crossing. I believe that the Cambridge edition was built hundreds of years later. Although it is not the original version, it is still beautiful. Worth seeing
You can take an express train from King's Cross Station to Cambridge for about 50 minutes, and then take the city bus to save your feet. After you come in, you need tickets to visit the colleges. Many people on the road are peddling the itinerary. This is not often another way to visit , And then walk to the Bridge of Sighs, Mathematical Bridge and Newton’s Apple Tree. It is a wonderful and fulfilling itinerary
