Perry Mead | Somerset Wildlife Trust
Perry Mead | Somerset Wildlife Trust
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. The northern and wetter parts of the reserve close to the river are unimproved water meadows with species-rich neutral grassland flora. Mature deciduous hedgerows surround the fields and a short length of wet ditch bisects the northern field and discharges into the River Cary.

Green Down | Somerset Wildlife Trust
One of the best examples of limestone downland and scrub in Somerset. One of the jewels in the crown of this reserve is the Large Blue Butterfly, declared extinct in Britain in 1979, it has since been reintroduced as part of a long term conservation programme.
Edford Wood | Somerset Wildlife Trust
Edford Wood | Somerset Wildlife Trust
Sadly this broadleaved 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 reserve at the current time. The seasonal footpath, normally open in spring, will remain closed this year.
