You may well find that there is a local Tolkien Society - at least 2 of the speakers last year were American... and while your parents may dislike Tolkien (my family think I am crazy but humour me) I am sure they would love Oxford. They could leave you at the Moot and explore or go up to Blenheim Palace or Stratford. Usually it really is just the Saturday.

They may well like other Oxford writers, Lewis Caroll, Dorothy L Sayers, Pullman, CS Lewis, or have an interest in History. I have been privileged to travel a great deal and few places are as heartstoppingly lovely as Oxford.
