Swallowfield Meadow is a 0.7-hectare (1.7-acre) Local Nature Reserve in Swallowfield, south of Reading in Berkshire. It is owned and managed by Swallowfield Parish Council.[1][2]

The reserve features meadows, native hedgerows, a small copse, ditches, and seasonal ponds as well as the meadows themselves.[1]

History

The area that is now the meadow was transferred to the Parish Council in the mid-1990s when houses were being built in the village.[3] Before then the area had been a coal yard.[3]

On 15 July 2003, the area was officially designated as a Local Nature Reserve.[3]
