High Wood and Meadow

High Wood and Meadow is a 16.5-hectare (41-acre) biological Site of Special Scientific Interest between Farthingstone and Preston Capes in Northamptonshire.

[1][2] It is managed by the Wildlife Trust for Bedfordshire, Cambridgeshire and Northamptonshire.

[3] The wood is ancient and semi-natural on acid soils.

It has diverse ground flora, including yellow pimpernel, hairy wood-rush and broad-leaved helleborine.

The meadow is acid grassland of a type which is now uncommon, and there are also areas of neutral grassland and marsh on silty peat.
