It was given to the City of Oxford in 1924 by Raymond ffennell, then owner of Wytham Abbey, who had acquired it from the Harcourt family. It was named in honour of Professor Sir Walter Raleigh, who lived on Harcourt Hill and died in 1922.

It is now managed by Oxford City Council as a nature reserve and recreational park.
