Another unrelated college named Magdalen Hall adjacent to Magdalen College eventually became part of Hertford College. Regarded by some as one of the most beautiful of the Oxford and Cambridge colleges, Magdalen is also one of the most visited. It stands next to the River Cherwell and has within its grounds a deer park and Addison's Walk. Magdalen College School also lies nearby. The large, square Magdalen Tower is a famous Oxford landmark, and it is a tradition since the days of Henry VII that the college choir singsfrom the top of it at 6 a.m. on May Morning.
