| You
are invited to accompany us to Oxford once again this year. On arrival
at the Ashmolean Museum you will be free to visit some of the many
institutions that make this city famous. Perhaps one of the best kept secrets is Christ Church Picture Gallery (Concession Price £2.00). Located within the walls of Christ Church enter through Canterbury Gate off Oriel Square (from King Edward Street). The custodian at the gate will direct you to the gallery. Should you wish to see the whole college the entrance is at Meadow Gate (Concession £7.00). This includes access to the Quads, Cloister, Hall Staircase, Hall and Cathedral. If we are lucky with the weather then the Oxford Botanic Garden (founded as a physic garden in 1621) is located 20 minutes walk along High Street towards Magdalen College makes a very interesting walk. The garden comprises a diversity of glasshouse specimens, walled gardens, rock gardens etc., and is one of the oldest scientific gardens in the world. Pitt Rivers Museum - Volunteer led tours take place in the Museum on Wednesdays at 14.30 and 15.15. They are free and there is no need to book.
