Wymeswold Meadows Nature Reserve

Описание: One of the most magical things about visiting Wymeswold Meadows is the sense of seclusion you get when you step through the gates. The river is deeply cut, and, despite being so close to the road, this is the perfect spot for immersing yourself fully in the wild.


Wymeswold Meadows runs alongside the River Mantle, which is somewhat seasonal and at this time of year is more like a small trickling stream. The banks of the river are exposed and you can see the effect of the water’s erosion from its heavier flow during the winter months along its steep sides.

During the summer this reserve is a great place to see dragonflies and damselflies, which hawk up and down the riverbanks. The timeless sense of quiet contemplation quickly surrounds you on the peaceful grassy banks abundant with flowers, plants and plenty of blackberries.

Chris Hill, Reserve Officer for Wymeswold Meadows,
“Wymeswold Meadows has a timeless, peaceful character, all of its own.
Over thousands of years, the River Mantle has carved through the reserve creating a valley which enables the visitor to imagine a land that time forgot.”
