Disgrifiad Cymraeg / Welsh Description
Mae Real Oxford yn dangos bod llawer mwy i'r ddinas hon na thyrau breuddwydiol a beiciau. Mae'n wir y sonir yma am adeiladau mawreddog y brifysgol, ond mae Patrick McGuiness yn cynnig hefyd ei olwg bersonol ar y lle sy'n cyrraedd y maestrefi a bywydau dyddiol y trigolion, ddoe a heddiw, gan gynnig portread newydd o'r ddinas.
Disgrifiad Saesneg / English Description
Real Oxford shows that there's more than dreaming spires and bicycles to the city. The grand buildings of the university are here, but Patrick McGuinness charts a personal history of the place which radiates into the suburbs and into the everyday of people's lives, past and present. Surprising, quirky, Real Oxford presents the city anew.
