Salmonsbury Meadows SSSI, Protected ecological site in Gloucestershire, England
Salmonsbury Meadows spans 18 hectares of land with the River Eye running through it and the River Dikler forming its eastern boundary.
The site received its designation as a Site of Special Scientific Interest in 1985 and was acquired through three separate purchases between 1999 and 2002.
The meadows represent traditional agricultural practices through their network of ancient hedges that separate eleven distinct meadow sections.
Visitors can explore the area through public footpaths, including the Oxfordshire Way, while observing the diverse plant and animal species.
The meadows contain populations of southern marsh orchids and early marsh orchids, alongside one of the county's remaining water vole communities.
