Description:

Three fields totalling 5.6 hectares. The western-most field is one of the best remaining examples of unimproved haymeadows in Kent. In May it is covered with several thousand green-winged orchids, together with similar numbers of adder’s-tongue.

Later in the year pepper saxifrage, dyer's greenweed and yellow rattle are common amongst the buttercups, vetches, daisies and wild grasses.

The smaller of the two ponds is overshadowed by a large wild service-tree and, in some years, has an abundant show of water violet.

The larger pond, with its dense stands of bulrush and marginal vegetation, provides nesting habitat for reed warblers and various feral ducks and geese.
