Clattinger Farm

Clattinger Farm is a precious remnant of Britain’s hay meadow, a type of grassland which has now almost completely vanished from our landscapes.

Its lovely richness as a wildlife habitat is a lasting tribute to its previous owners, who farmed the land traditionally and did not use any artificial fertilisers. Today, Clattinger is considered the finest remaining example of enclosed lowland grassland in the UK, and is of international importance for its hay meadow wildflowers. It has legal protection as a Site of Special Scientific Interest, and is also part of a Special Area for Conservation.
