Oxford Botanic Garden is the UK’s oldest botanical garden, established in 1621, and houses over 5,000 plant species.

It is only 20 minute walk from the centre of Oxford and there is no parking at the gardens – so you have been warned!

While not the largest gardens there is still plenty to see including the fascinating Carnivorous Plant House.

There is also the Water Lily House, Arid House, Rainforest House and the Conservatory.

There are some good walks down by the river, the glasshouses get rave reviews and watch out for random peacocks!

There is a shop and you are also encouraged to bring your own food if you like.

And don’t forget to check out their Christmas Fair each year!

Only assistance dogs are allowed in the botanic gardens.

Don’t take our word for how lovely these gardens are. Here is what visitors to Oxford Botanic Garden had to say.
 
” Wonderful garden with so much to see! You could easy spend a whole afternoon here and probably still miss some paths!

There is some of the best boarder gardens I’ve ever seen!”

” This is a real gem. The garden is extensive and beautifully maintained with care.

There are an interesting array of areas to visit and you can take a leisurely stroll through the garden or along the river. You can also visit the glass houses with various zones of exotic plants.”
