Christ Church Meadow is a beautiful area located in Oxford, England. It is a large, picturesque expanse of greenery that stretches alongside the River Thames, offering stunning views of the city's historic skyline. One of the unique features of this meadow is the presence of grazing cows. The tradition of having cows in Christ Church Meadow dates back centuries and is still maintained today. The cows are typically Oxford-bred Longhorn cattle, known for their distinctive long and curved horns. These cattle are carefully managed and play a crucial role in maintaining the meadow's ecosystem through grazing, which helps preserve the diverse plant life. The sight of cows peacefully grazing amidst the scenic backdrop of the university buildings creates a serene and idyllic setting, making Christ Church Meadow a popular spot for locals and tourists alike. Visitors can enjoy leisurely walks or have picnics while admiring the harmonious coexistence of nature and history within this iconic Oxford location.

It's a lovely meadow in the heart of Oxford, ideal for family 👪 and pets 🐶 walks. 📍Location: Just 3 minutes walking distance from Covered Market. Great view of the Christ Church college for which you need to pay a ticket 🎟 if you plan to visit it. Extra Tip 😉: If you are lucky enough you might watch the annual local ⛵ Summer Eights at the west side of the meadow. It is about a rowing 🚣 event among all the Oxford University colleges. It comprises four days racing from Wednesday to Saturday of 5th week in Trinity term, with a qualifying session (Rowing On) held the preceding Saturday (usually end of May, depending on the academic calendar 📅).

This is my most favourite place to go for daily walk in the city centre of Oxford. The river Cherwell and Thames border the two sides of the park and in summer, the punting boats in Cherwell and students rowing in Thames are delight to watch. The meadow, the lush green sports ground and the walking path lined by trees add to the beauty of this park. In early spring, there are lovely daffodils on the side of the road and in summer, the cows in the meadows are special attraction.

The church it’s beautiful, all the rooms and the corridors are great and well treated. The staff it’s very helpful and friendly, they give you information if you ask, always with a smile on the face! For an Harry Potter’s lover it’s an amazing experience! The shop it’s very full and not too expensive. The only problem is that the church opens at two o'clock and then, if you have not booked before, you have to get around one, which, under the sun, is not really comfortable.

Christ Church War Memorial Garden is a garden in Oxford, England, created in 1926 to commemorate the First World War. The war memorial garden, in memory of members of Christ Church, Oxford, is located east off St Aldate's at the western end of Broad Walk, which leads along the northern edge of Christ Church Meadows. To the north is Christ Church, one of the Oxford colleges, with a view of Tom Tower above its main entrance, also on St Aldate's.

An absolutely beautiful place in the centre of Oxford to go for a walk and some peace and quiet, a perfect break from the hustle and bustle of the city. The walk along the river is absolutely gorgeous and a wonderful chance to connect with nature. You can see all kinds of wildlife, insects, ducks, wildflowers and much more. A place of beauty and calm just a short walk from Oxford's high street, I always enjoy my visits here.
