Шаблон:Use dmy dates Шаблон:Infobox SSSI Houghton Meadows is a Шаблон:Convert biological Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI) between Houghton and St Ives in Cambridgeshire.[1][2] The SSSI covers three meadows south of Thicket Road; they are part of the Шаблон:Convert Houghton Meadows nature reserve, which is owned and managed by the Wildlife Trust for Bedfordshire, Cambridgeshire and Northamptonshire, and which also includes Browns Meadow to the south.[3][4]
Some of these fields are pasture and others are hay meadows, and they display ridges and furrows from medieval ploughing. They are a type of neutral grassland which is declining nationally. Flowers include cowslips and yellow-rattles, and there are fauna such as green woodpeckers and great crested newts.[3][5]
There is access from the Ouse Valley Way, which runs along Thicket Road.
