Jarn Mound & Wild Garden was created in 1931 to preserve the view of the 'dreaming spires' of Oxford and the surroundings. It's a beautiful spot for a stroll featuring stone steps, benches, rockeries, and a wild garden covered in beautiful rare plants and shrubs.

Despite "Cumnor Folly" being marked on the OS Map, there is no structure here. This is the other definition of "folly", meaning a clump of trees atop a hill. The clearing is nevertheless very pleasant and peaceful, and there is a trig point here.
