Christ Church Meadows was recently voted Britain's most loved park outside London and it is no surprise why...
Old English Longhorn cattle, wildflower restoration, boathouse island, and famous balloon flights- where else can claim to be the birthplace of Alice in Wonderland!

Her Majesty The Queen Elizabeth II was Visitor of Christ Church.
Her death marks the end of a lifetime of faithful service and our thoughts are with the Royal Family who mourn a great-grandmother, grandmother and mother as well as a much-loved monarch.
