Christ Church Meadow, Oxford
Christ Church Meadow is a famous water meadow, and popular walking and picnic spot in Oxford, England.
Approximately triangular in shape it is bounded by the River Thames (the stretch through Oxford being known as the Isis), the River Cherwell, and Christ Church. It provides access to many of the college boat houses which are on an island at the confluence of the two rivers. The lower sections of the meadow, close to the Thames, are grazed by cattle, while the upper sections have sports fields.
Christ Church Meadow is private property, but access is permitted during the day. Access starts very early because of rowers' need to access the boat houses.
