Best Gelato in Galloway

"The production headquarters for local ice-cream luminaries, G&Ds (other branches at Cowley Road and the corner of Pembroke Street/St Aldate's), this brightly painted cafe – on the Little Clarendon Street cut-through from town to Jericho – does a brisk trade in upmarket ice-cream, as well as filled bagels, cookies and cakes. Having been knocked-out by G&D's ice-cream in the past, I must admit that I was slightly disappointed with this visit's sample. While the flavours were typically true and clear, and the sweetness well-judged, my Ferrero Rocher tribute was a bit too thick and dense."

"The success of the original shop left no other option but to expand the G&D’s joy further into the town. George and Danver opened in 2001 on the corner of Pembroke St. and St. Aldates and became enormously busy serving students, tourists, and locals alike. This expansion to the company also saw an expansion in size and seating space."

"G&D’s has certainly become something of an Oxford institution. Serving up amazing homemade ice cream to tourists, students and locals. Originally opened in 1992, the cafe became so popular that it expanded to two more locations in Oxford."

"iScream was Oxford’s first gelateria and is the place to go for the most beautiful overall gelato experience in Oxford. Tucked inside the Covered Market, it features award-winning flavours produced on-site daily, in a space packed with Wicked Chocolate and other sweet treats. The colourful displays of perfectly-formed gelato and sorbet beckon you in, with whispers that they are artisan, fabulous, and available in triple scoops."

"Up in Summertown, a tiny vintage food truck from Italy offers stiff competition for the best gelato in Oxford. Lewis, the gelato-maker, serves up cones and cups of amazing flavours that will have you rushing back for more. The chocolate tangerine is a dense, rich triumph in which the chocolate lingers lovingly on your tongue and in your taste memory."

"Back in the town centre, Swoon is another delight, especially if you like your gelato pillowy soft rather than densely rich. They receive high ratings and have their share of awards for very good reason. Like any reputable gelateria, they churn up new batches every day; they also take their ingredients extremely seriously and source most of them directly from Italy."

"The Heath Robinson Museum is a biographical museum dedicated to the life and art of its namesake. The museum displays memorabilia, artwork, and objects from the life of Heath Robinson, as well as hosts exhibitions and events that support Robinson's life mission and vision. Admission to the museum is free."

"Exeter College is located on Turl Street and is the fourth oldest college of Oxford University. It was founded in 1314 by Walter de Stapledon, the Bishop of Exeter, and was originally intended to educate clergymen. The Exeter Chapel is gorgeous, with stained-glass windows wrapped around the walls, beautiful stone columns, and intricate carved wooden seats."

"We visited a number of the colleges, including David’s College, Exeter College and Trinity College. I particularly liked the chapel at Exeter College, arguably one of the most picturesque of all the college chapels, and the gardens at Trinity College was also gorgeous to walk in."
