Kempley Daffodil Meadow, Protected natural meadow in Gloucestershire, United Kingdom.
Kempley Daffodil Meadow is a protected grassland in Gloucestershire where wild daffodils cover large areas of the ground. The site includes meadows and wooded sections connected by walking trails that pass through different parts of the landscape.
The meadow received protected status from Natural England in 1986 because of its special ecological value. This designation recognized its importance for preserving natural habitats in the region.
The name reflects the wild daffodils that cover the grassland each spring and shape how locals view their landscape. Visitors can see how these flowers define the rhythm of the seasons and mark the character of the surrounding area.
Visitors should wear sturdy walking boots because the paths go through wet grass and cross several stiles. A walking map is available on site to help navigate the different routes through meadows and woodland.
The site is home to various bumblebee species and wild plants such as creeping buttercup and cuckooflower. This mix makes the area a valuable refuge for insects and flowering plants that have become scarce in the modern countryside.
