Burgess Field Nature Park, Nature reserve in North Oxford, England
The 30-hectare park features open grasslands, small woodlands, and mature trees along its northern edge, situated between the railway line and Port Meadow.
The area operated as a city landfill until the early 1980s, after which it underwent clay capping and transformation into a green space with trees and hedges.
A memorial stone within the park honors John Thompson, Oxford's landscape architect who planted over 10,000 trees throughout the city during his career.
Visitors can access the park through Walton Well Road, passing Trap Ground Allotments, or via footbridges and pathways across Port Meadow at coordinates SP 49725 07491.
During floods in Port Meadow, the elevated terrain of Burgess Field serves as a refuge for cattle and horses from adjacent areas.
