Frays Farm Meadows, Protected meadow in London Borough of Hillingdon, England
The 28-hectare meadow contains wet grasslands, the Frays River, old railway embankments, and networks of ditches across three distinct sections of land.
The Frays River received its name from John Fray, the owner of Cowley Hall who managed the waterways near Uxbridge during the fifteenth century.
The London Wildlife Trust maintains these meadows through traditional methods, including cattle grazing to maintain the natural balance of plant species.
Visitors can reach the meadows through the Grand Union Canal towpath, with parking available at Uxbridge Golf Course or Denham Country Park.
The meadows contain one of London's last remaining examples of unimproved wet alluvial grassland, supporting endangered water voles and numerous bird species.
