Here is the aforementioned Port Meadow which our man had informed us was the largest meadow in Europe. Our book told us it is 342 acres and was given to Oxford by William the Conqueror as common land and has never been ploughed or built on. Also around here is Binsey Ford which was probably the original ford in Ox-ford. That's enough information for you. What we were most concerned about was where were all the animals going? They were all going in the same direction apart from the horses who just stood in the river. Given our nervousness around large animals we were glad they were all on the other bank.
