There are three Allotments in Abingdon. The largest is Wildmoor allotment with 120 plots. This is the one most people have seen as it is visible from the A34, on the Shippon not the Abingdon side.

It can be seen from a footbridge over the A34 that starts from the area of Copenhagen Drive. But that way only goes to Shippon. Users enter from Long Tow where there is a padlocked gate.

Round the sides the allotments are surrounded by fields growing barley, and a deep dug wire mesh fence to keep out the rabbits.

Allotments gained great importance during the two world wars because of the shortage of food. They are gaining popularity again now.
