This open area of meadowland follows the river Cherwell along the back of Christ Church College. Intersected by paths the meadows have for centuries been a magnet for the students of the great University. A beautiful and tranquil location, in the winter people take bracing walks through the meadows along the river and in summer the fields are awash with students and tourists enjoying the sunshine, relaxing and watching the punts go past on the river. The idyllic grassland is owned by the University but is open to the general public to enjoy a quintessentially English experience.
