is one of the best places in Britain to experience spring at its blooming best!
The North Meadow is an ancient flood plain on the banks of the upper Thames,
which is renowned as one of the best examples of a lowland hay meadow in Europe.
| |  | These
19th Century hay meadows are famous for their rare plants and butterflies. | |  | - Whitelee Farm in Northumberland boosts great opportunities
for wild walks and bird watching.
| "Spring
is when plants burst into growthÂ… that vivid green of new leaves dusts all
the hedges in the countryside... and the first flowers bloom. Ìý "Before
the days of intensive farming, many of our meadows would have been covered in
wild flowers. Ìý "Today they are still a few special wildlife sites
where you can see spring in all its glory." |
