"Let's go hang out with peacocks in the woods." My date and I went to this place for a peaceful afternoon amongst red kites, peafowl, and redwood trees. Admission was about 12 USD and well worth it to escape the crowds of the museums in town that are free to the public, which is exactly who you will be stuffed in the small rooms with—the public and lots of them in every room. This place is the opposite. Wide open green spaces with a few squirrels, birds, and the occasional human. If that's your speed, this is your place. The peacocks like eating the clover and don't seem to be afraid of humans. They see cautiously curious. Watch your back. They will quietly come up behind you. We left right at closing time. They conveniently rang a bell for us so we knew they were closing. The peacocks joined them in announcing to us that, while we didn't have to go home, we couldn't stay here.

Well maintained and informative arboretum. Peacocks everywhere. A good selection of walks, a number pram friendly. Good children's area. Recommended. Get there early if you want to see deer!

A beautiful park just outside Oxford. There’s plenty private nature reserve has plenty of rare plants, trees and wildlife to observe. There’s also a group of peacocks that can be seen and heard walking around the park.

This is a remarkable space of light, life and tranquility. The spatial layout encourages beauty, reflection & contemplation. It also has a charming quiet and unpresupposing air that can be a welcome change from other arboretums.

I went with my family on a sunny Sunday to this location. The free parking is very convenient and with lots of shade. We paid £7.20p for adults and it's free for children. At the entrance you can also buy some drinks and sweets. We were impressed by the very tall and very thick trees. There are many species of flowers and with a particularly beautiful flowering. But what we liked most was the peacocks that walked freely among the trees and were very friendly to people. We spent a pleasant weekend day.
