Seaton Meadows is an 11.4-hectare (28-acre) biological Site of Special Scientific Interest east of Seaton in Rutland.[1][2] It is owned and managed by Plantlife.[3]
This site is traditionally managed as hay pasture, and it is an example of unimproved alluvial flood meadows, a rare habitat due to agricultural developments. The grasses are diverse, including meadow foxtail, red fescue, sweet vernal grass and Yorkshire fog.[4]
There is access from the B672 road.
