Innsworth Meadow (Шаблон:Gbmapping) is a Шаблон:Convert biological Site of Special Scientific Interest in Gloucestershire, notified in 1979.[1][2]

Location and use

The meadow overlies Lower Lias clays. It is one example of a very small number of unimproved neutral grasslands remaining in the Severn Vale near Innsworth and Twigworth.[1] It is used for the production of hay and stock grazing, and Natural England reports the status of this in September 2011.[3]

Flora

The meadow is old ridge and furrow grassland which has been traditionally managed. The dominant grasses are Common Bent, Red Fescue, Crested Dog’s-tail and Yorkshire Fog. Flowering herbs include Cowslip, Pepper Saxifrage, Yellow-rattle, Ox-eye Daisy, Great Burnet, the Green-winged Orchid and Corky-fruited Water Dropwort.[1]

There are thick Hawthorn hedges, with some Ash trees on three sides.[1]
