Magdalen College and Grounds

After punting, we decided to stroll around Magdalen College. It's definitely among my favorites! Part of the college is bounded by High Street, very near the city centre. Viewing from the High Street, it's difficult to imagine the expansive grounds occupying a hundred acres that lie beyond.

Noah found a nice place to rest in the Fellows' Garden.

I'd like to return and explore the buildings and grounds a bit more!
