Yockenthwaite Meadows
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Yockenthwaite Meadows is a Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI)[1][2] within Yorkshire Dales National Park in North Yorkshire, England. It is located 500m east of the hamlet of Yockenthwaite in Langstrothdale. The River Wharfe forms the southern boundary of this protected area that is important because of the plant species diversity in these meadows. The geology underlying the valley slopes is carboniferous limestone.
Yockenthwaite Meadows SSSI is adjacent to Upper Wharfdale SSSI and so is part of a wider area of nature protection.
