I’d recommend Oxford - very easy access by train and the whole town is ‘walkeable’. The Bodleian library have extended tours which take you into the parts not usually accessible and the Divinity room and Duke Humfrey’s libraryparts of it are beautiful medieval rooms that were film sets for the Harry Potter films.

Most of the colleges allow tourists although a lot charge nowadays which can add up if you want to see a lot. The 13th and 14th Century ones are very impressive.

Try a coffee upstairs at Blackwells the famous bookshop as well.

There are a lots of walking tours available although any sunny day will make all the streets very busy with tourists.
