Quick facts

The meadow lies between the Thames and the Cherwell, with Broad Walk along its northern edge.

The lower sections near the Thames are grazed by cattle, including Longhorn cows.

It belongs to Christ Church but is open to walkers by day through gates at St Aldate's, Merton Street and Rose Lane, locked at night.
