Ashford Hill National Nature Reserve
No Events at this location
Ashford Hill NNR consists of a series of low-lying meadows in the valley of a small stream. The meadows have been traditionally managed by grazing and hay-cutting with little, or no, use of fertilisers.Water violet and marsh stitchwort can be found in the permanently waterlogged areas of site, while drier sections support populations of Dyer's greenweed and large thyme. Anthills created by the yellow meadow ant can be seen in drier areas of the reserve. Thirty-two species of butterfly have been recorded at the site, including the purple emperor and five species of fritillary.
