The Roman Tower has opened as a museum, open to the public and is still one of the main gates through to the bustling city centre. The Gardens are a riot of colour and beauty throughout the year, but especially in the spring and summe. It is lovely to take this route from Magnolia Housethrough to the city, relaxing and watching the punts go up the river.
