How big is an acre?

Answer

Aerial view showing half and acre of forest An acre is just over 40,000 square feet.

Put another way, its a car park with 200 spaces, half a football pitch or 15 tennis courts.

Traditionally, an acre is the area an ox can plough in a day (or rather a morning since refuelling took up the afternoon).
