Botanic Garden
Description
Founded in 1621 it originally 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. For timings, please check the website.
The Botanical Gardens were my favorite place in Oxford. It was so beautiful there and had plants which you could never imagine. It was very inexpensive and was well worth the time.
