Oxford has many wildlife meadows which have managed to escape the property developer and modern chemical farming.

There are still places around oxford where you can find traditional meadows with a range of wildflowers like this delightful Fritillary. (This photo was taken from Oxford Botanic Gardens)

• Oxford University Parks. The other side of the River to the university parks are some meadows next to Marston
• Port Meadow
