Itinerary
Take yourself around one of the most important Victorian gardens in England and soak up the mostly unchanged views! See the restored Victorian aviary, take a scented walk, pose by an army of sculptures, and more! Breathe in deep as you walk through Waddesdon's beautiful blooms in the shadow of tall trees. See changing special exhibitions in The Stables Courtyard. Wander round elegant sculptures, including one made for the gardens of Versailles, and feel the splash of the fountains. This is Victorian England! Don't miss the beautifully restored aviary, home to hundreds of birds. This was a 'must-see' even in the 1890s, when Baron Ferdinand de Rothschild would wow his guests with it on tours. Kids got pent up energy? Unleash them on the Woodland Playground or the family-friendly Stables Café while you sip on an oh-so-English cuppa tea.

About Oxford
Oxford is England's famous university city, with honey-coloured colleges, libraries, museums and river meadows beside the Thames and the Cherwell.
Oxford has been a university town since the 12th century, and its dreaming spires belong to colleges that stand shoulder to shoulder around quadrangles and gardens. The Radcliffe Camera, a round domed library, the Bodleian Library, the Sheldonian Theatre and Christ Church, whose dining hall inspired scenes in the Harry Potter films, are the best known. The Hertford Bridge, a covered footbridge nicknamed the Bridge of Sighs, links two parts of one college.
