The Best Places To Enjoy Spring In Oxford
The city has a variety of parks and gardens to hang out in when the sun is out during spring. While the high street and the University of Oxford Botanic Garden are popular choices, why not check out other spots such as Oxford University Parks are off the beaten track? Here are our best places to enjoy spring in Oxford.
High Street
In front of the south porch of the University Church of St. Mary the Virgin, the one and only ancient tree would bloom as early as late March. Its pretty pink blossoms are one of the first signs of springtime, and its unique presence ensures no one misses it while walking down the high street. A few steps from the tree are some magnolia trees, which flower around April. This area on high street is one of the most famous photo spots for tourists visiting Oxford.

South Park
Not only does the South Park have many spring-flowering trees, but it also offers a spectacular view of Oxford’s skyline as it is located on the Headington Hill in the east of Oxford. From the top of the hill, viewers can fully admire the iconic ‘dreaming spires’, as described by the Victorian poet Matthew Arnold.
