Perry Mead is a wonderful flower-rich neutral grassland meadow on the north side of Perry Hill stretching down to the meandering River Cary near Perrys Bridge.

Sadly this woodland is badly affected by ash die back. This means that the ash trees are not in good health, they and their limbs are prone to failing and falling. We do not recommend visiting this nature reserve at the current time.
