 Rhonda's botanical garden by RhondajLeave a Comment Address: High Street, across from Magdalen Tower
|
I knew that I wanted to visit Magdalen College's Botanic Garden months before I came. I just love the ambiance and smells of such places. And the fact that this is the oldest one in all of England made me even more curious. Founded in 1621, it was first created by the university faculty of medicine to grow plants and herbs. It contains formal flower-beds, trees, ponds, glass houses where there are all sorts of plants, from tropical to desert plants, all in a very romantic setting. The River Cherwell passes right besides it's grounds so everyone can admire the sometimes curious punting habits of some tourists or the elegance of the Oxfordian. A friend and I came here with a lunch consisting of delicious sandwiches that we scarely had to share with wasps. So check which time of year you are in, if you want to emulate us... ;-) Address: On High Street in front of Magdalen College.Phone: 01865 286690Directions: Map and usefull info Admission prices and opening hours change during the year. The Cherwell Boathouse is on Bardwell Road, off Banbury Road.Website: http://www.botanic-garden.ox.ac.uk/ Other Contact: postmaster@obg.ox.ac.uk
