DESCRIPTION

Parsonage Meadow is an ancient water meadow extending to approximately 5.07 acres (2.05 hectares). Benefitting from species-rich grassland, natural ponds, native trees, and a former railway cabin in the south-west corner (extending to 2.25 x 4.88m). The full extent is outlined in red on the plan below.

Gently sloping and framed by traditional Devon hedge banks, the land enjoys a wonderfully sheltered setting. It is naturally defined by the Ludbrook stream and other agricultural land to the north, with residential properties to the east, the A3121 offering easy access to the south, and the lane to Ugborough to the west.

The meadow has been created to enhance ecological diversity, with species-rich grassland, wildflowers, fruit trees, and native woodland forming a mosaic of habitats for wildlife.

Along the southern boundary, the current owner has planted a rich corridor of native trees, complemented by a small orchard in the south-west corner. Species include oak, ash, elm, rowan, beech, hornbeam, willow, hazel, hawthorn, blackthorn, wild cherry, alder, elder, horse chestnut, and a variety of fruit trees.

Two ancient cart crossings, marked by large slate slabs, lie at the heart of the field, now framed by trees traditionally planted to guide the mower around them.

The meadow has never been sprayed, and has been cut for hay once a year.
