After the noise and crowds of Christchurch it was lovely to wander through this peaceful college and visit the hall and chapel. Worth a visit for the tranquility. Admission was through a proper porters' lodge too.

A wonderful place to wander in-we were impressed by the sepia-toned stained glass in the chapel. We will especially remember the warm welcome we received at the Porter's Lodge!

I don't know if it was because it's the start of the spring season and hasn't been a very good spring here but our visit to Magdalen College started off great but ended horribly.

Magdalen is one of the larger colleges within Oxford University and it shows in both the extensive grounds and the impressive buildings on display.

Very good tour with senior student, saw various parts of the college and extensive deer park at the back. Handy for Oxford Botanic Gardens across the road. Recommend Cafe Cucina in St Clements for something to eat

Magdalen College deer park is open most days, from 1pm all year round, and is a must for anyone interested in Oxford Colleges.
The buildings are fascinating, reminiscent of a cathedral cloister, but the grounds are well worth a walk, too. They lead through a deer park and meadows to the Fellows Garden, then back to Magdalen Bridge and a...
