Court Place Gardens 1


About this site

Court Place Gardens was acquired by the University of Oxford in 1966. It is a mosaic of lowland mixed deciduous woodland with elements of calcareous alkaline fen, wet woodland, and old punting channels. Scattered ornamental, non-native species can still be found from when the site was the manor house's ornamental garden.

We are rennovating the area for the local people to enjoy.  There is a permissive footpath through the woodland, the main entrance to the gardens is via Rivermead Nature Park.

The woodland at Court Place Gardens is less than a century old. Some of the larger trees were planted for landscape reasons within the garden of the Mansion House.
