Probably best visited in the summer as not much about when we visited in early December. Costs about £4 to get in - best to Book on line at busy times.

The Oxford Botanic Garden is the oldest in the world, founded in 1621. It has multiple areas dedicated to certain plant types (dependent on time of year). It also has permanent subtropical greenhouses with a wide variety of exotic cactii and jungle species. There is a great coffee and cake van on the premises, to complete the visit.
