Arlesey Old Moat and Glebe Meadows

[1] The site is a long narrow strip between the River Hiz and the East Coast Main Line, with the entrance to Glebe Meadows immediately west of Arlesey railway station, and Arlesey Old Moat south of the Meadows.

Frogs, toads and newts spawn in the moat, and dragonflies lay their eggs in it.

The meadows have a range of wild flowers, and woodland, which is managed by coppicing, provides a habitat for nesting warblers.

[1] The Glebe Meadows were purchased, by raising funds, by Arlesey Conservation for Nature (ACORN) for the public to enjoy in perpetuity for quiet recreation and for wildlife.

The Wildlife Trust agreed to hold the title of the land on their behalf.
