Summer wildflower meadow

It may be hard to believe now, but our 5 acre wildflower meadow started life as a rugby pitch! Home to a huge variety of plant, insect and bird life, it includes four of our native orchid species; common spotted-orchid, northern marsh-orchid, southern marsh-orchid and the nationally rare greater butterfly-orchid, as well as many other meadow species. Awarded Coronation Meadow status, It really looks marvellous in early summer time.
