Bucknell Wood Meadows is a 9.2-hectare (23-acre) biological Site of Special Scientific Interest north-west of Silverstone in Northamptonshire.[1][2]
This site consists of agriculturally unimproved fields on seasonally waterlogged soils. The flora is diverse with many herbs, including bird's-foot-trefoil, meadow buttercup and devil's-bit scabious. Variations in the types of flora are partly due to different soils and partly to previous management practices.[3]
There is access from public footpaths which pass through the site.
