Emmett Hill Meadows is made up from three fields called Long, Middle and Pignut. The Reserve is a small piece of the traditional Braydon Forest landscape that has remained untouched despite the surrounding modern agricultural improvements. This landscape of big hedges and small wildflower meadows is one of the most threatened in Britain. Each of the fields supports different wildflowers and all are bordered by fantastic hedgerows.
