Abbey Meadows — Attraction in Vale of White Horse

This is a wonderful park for kids of all ages we arrived just after 11am and left just after 4pm the park area with the swings and slides etc was for all ages all gated and safe seating area inside and lovely grass area shaded by the tree and great picnic area.

There's also a nice path running up to the lock and the Weir which you can walk over. A haven for young families, boaters (for the free mooring) and...

I’ve been visiting the Abbey Meadows since I was born and they’ve made a lot of changes! I wasn’t really happy when they first moved the playground-park, however my son really enjoys where the playground is now and it’s really beautiful scenery around there! The walk down the river up to the weirs is lovely, and there are some nice fishing spots along there, also. In the summer when the water fountains are active it can get a bit too busy, but this is testament to how gorgeous the surroundings are and how fun the sprinkler fountains are for the kids - and any adult willing to get wet or needing a cool-off on our...
