Magnificent meadows in Wales 

Taking a stroll through a wild meadow at sunrise or sunset in summer is a magical moment. Sadly, around 97% of meadows have been lost since the 1930’s, but through the ‘Save Our Magnificent Meadows’ partnership project, we have revived and restored meadow landscapes across Wales, for everyone to enjoy.
