\n‘An amazing retreat to stumble across in Abingdon. I can’t believe I never knew this was here.’ <\/p>\n

‘I lived in Abingdon from 1964 to 67. I can’t believe I’d never been here before. Wonderful. I’ve done some knitting.’ <\/p>\n

‘I’m so glad I walked into this fabulous setting. Spring has finally started to do its magic, and flowers are coming up. The birds are singing, and I can watch the geese and riverboats. It’s a site for sore eyes after the harsh winter months.’ <\/p>\n

‘What’s a lovely place to stumble upon. We are studying at Oxford and decided to take a little day trip to explore Abingdon during our Christmas holidays. What a lovely place.’ <\/p>\n

‘Stumbled across the lovely garden. So tranquil.’<\/p>\n

‘Thank you to all the people who make this what it is. It’s a beautiful place. Restores my soul.’<\/p>\n

‘It’s my great joy that I was joined for about five minutes by a Kingfisher on one of the poles.’ <\/em>
