Mickfield Meadow is a 1.9 hectare biological Site of Special Scientific Interest north of Mickfield in Suffolk.[1][2] It is managed by the Suffolk Wildlife Trust.[3]
Fertilisers and herbicides have never been used on this meadow, and as a result it has a rich variety of flora, including fritillary. The dominant grasses are meadow foxtail, cocksfoot, false oat-grass, timothy and Yorkshire fog.[4]
There is access by walking along a field margin from Brook Lane.
