Wey Valley Meadows is a 94.1-hectare (233-acre) biological Site of Special Scientific Interest north of Godalming in Surrey.[1][2]
This 4-kilometre (2.5-mile) long stretch of the valley of the River Wey consists of species-rich unimproved meadows. Much of it is maintained by rabbit grazing, but there are also areas of wet fen-meadow, woodland and scrub. Snipe, lapwing and kingfisher breed on the site.[3]
