 Inspirational Gardens |
High Street Oxford OX1 4AX United Kingdom +44 1865 27 6920 http://www.botanic-garden.ox.a... postmaster@obg.ox.ac.uk |
Founded in 1621 it orgininally provided medicinal herbs. Today, the Botanic Garden has evolved into a collection of over 8,000 plants in a compact, beautifully laid out setting accurately reflecting the appearance of a Tudor or Stuart college garden. It can easily be missed, tucked away close to the edge of the central district, but is well worth the extra few hundred yards' walk to the end of High Street. Closed on Christmas Day and Good Friday.

Meadow close to city centre |
St Aldates Oxford, Oxfordshire OX1 4RT United Kingdom |
This meadow, set in the heart of Oxford, provides a wonderful contrast to the hustle and bustle of the city. Bounded on two sides by the rivers Cherwell and Isis, on the third by Christ Church, Merton College and part of the old city wall, and on the fourth by Poplar Walk, it is quite common to see cattle grazing here. Christ Church College now regards ownership of the meadow as a trust and fights hard to defend it against proposed encroachments. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Beasts of all descriptions |
Between Oxford and Cheltenham Oxford, Oxon OX18 4JW United Kingdom +44 1993 82 3006 http://www.cotswoldwildlifepar... |
Situated midway between Oxford and Cheltenham and set out on 160 acres of landscaped parkland, this park offers a wealth of attractions for all ages to enjoy. White rhinos, Asiatic lions and birds of prey are just some of the regular attractions, but there are also many special one-off events, such as car rallies. Families will love the cafeteria, adventure playground, picnic areas and narrow-gauge railway which runs from April until October. Admissions range from GB9 for adults to GB6.50 for senior citizens and children from ages 3-16. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Greenery south of the city |
St Clements Oxford, Oxfordshire OX4 United Kingdom |
South Park is a beautiful park in the south of the city towards Headington. Situated on one of the few hills in Oxford, it's the place where people go sledging when it snows and tripping through the daisies when spring is in the air, and organised fireworks displays are held here in November. The park is also the home of the circus that seems to pop into town every so often. It's a delightful spot - just the place to have a picnic or walk your dog. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Quiet spot off a busy thoroughfare |
St Aldates Oxford OX1 1DP United Kingdom |
The War Memorial Garden was laid out in 1925 and commemorates all Oxford people - whether from the city or the university - who died in the First World War. The garden is close to Christ Church College and provides visitors with a peaceful spot in a fairly busy part of the city, usually bustling with tourists and students. The garden is quite small, but is always kept exceptionally neat. Review © 2007, Wcities |
