A sign at the entrance of this pub claim it is Oxford\u2019s only city walled garden, making it one of a kind.<\/p>\n
Poet Christopher Middleton previously wrote about the Turf Tavern, which is accessible through a tiny passageway between Hopewell Street and New College Lane.<\/p>\n
He prefaced: \u201cYou could have been visiting Oxford for the past 600 years and still not found The Turf Tavern.\u201d<\/p>\n

The author added in a piece for The Telegraph: \u201cSo while tour guides all over the city are taking parties around the Radcliffe and the Bodleian, the Turf bartenders are holding their customers’ hands on an exciting beer journey that takes them from the light (Titanic Steerage, Springhead Sweet Lips) to the dark (Titanic Port and Starboard, Springhead Leveller).<\/p>\n
\u201cThe odd diversion may take in Hidden Pleasure, RCH Steam Lovers or Mordue Geordie Pride. And no, you don’t have to drink pints of each; the knowledgeable beer explorer always travels in halves.\u201d<\/p>\n
Historically, the venie’s name comes from the turfmen or turf accountants (now commonly known as bookies) who took bets here.<\/p>\n
