Just down the road from The Old Vicarage is this beautiful private woodland garden which is now open to the public.  

Evenley Wood Garden contains a large and notable collection of plants ranging from unusual trees and shrubs to a wide range of selected lilies and other bulbs.

Carpets of named snowdrops in February run into wonderful spring bulbs as the garden jumps into life.  Some 100 magnolias follow and are later joined by the rhododendrons and azaleas.  In the summer over 300 roses and 150 lilies emerge.  As the season slows down, a wonderful display of autumn colours can be seen/

There is a lovely cafe and several themed activities throughout the year.

Walking trails in 250 acres of fine landscaped gardens filled with lakes, temples and monuments.

The scale and beauty of Stowe have attracted visitors for over 300years.  Picture-perfect views, winding paths, lakeside walks and temples create a timeless landscape, reflecting the changing seasons.  Full of hidden meaning, the gardens were created as an earthly paradise and still cast their spell today.

The sheer size and space is perfect for those who love the outdoors and enjoy walking.

We love exploring the hidden monuments in the beautiful parkland or a short walk in the gardens followed by a hot drink in the cafe.

Home to Britain's oldest university and the City of Dreaming Spires, visit Oxford for its history and character.

Take a tour of the Ashmolean Museum of Art and Archaeology or wonder at the anthropology collections at the Pitts Rivers Museum.

For leisurely sightseeing, take a trip on a punt or if you prefer dry land, take a hop-on and off bus tour.
