Belmont Pastures

Belmont Pastures is a 1.3 hectare Local Nature Reserve and Site of Borough Importance for Nature Conservation, Grade II, in Belmont in the London Borough of Sutton.

[1][2][3] The site is a long narrow triangle north of Belmont railway station.

It is an old meadow which formerly belonged to Belmont Hospital.

It provides a good habitat for invertebrates such as butterflies, grasshoppers and crickets.

On the eastern side there is a hawthorn hedge next to the railway line, while the western edge is lined by an avenue of large trees, mainly horse chestnut.
