The Meadows

The Meadow, part of the 60 hectare grounds of Christchurch College, is a historic part of the university that is open daily all year except for Christmas. Keep an eye out for the opening hours, which vary with the seasons. At the end of the Long Walk, you get to the edge of the Thames, known here as Isis and much smaller than it will become when it reaches London. During the academic year, you can see students boating on the river, which is called the River Cherwell where it flows through the East Meadow. Normally, you can enter the street from St. Aldgate's, where you'll find the war memorial and the memorial garden.
