Chettisham Meadow is a 0.7 hectare biological Site of Special Scientific Interest west of Chettisham in Cambridgeshire.[1][2] It is managed by the Wildlife Trust for Bedfordshire, Cambridgeshire and Northamptonshire.[3]
The site is grassland on calcareous clay, and evidence survives of ridge and furrow medieval farming. Flowering plants include adder's tongue, cowslip and the uncommon green-winged orchid.[4]
There is access from Church Farm on the road called The Hamlet, by a track which goes under the A10, and curves to meet the track called The Balk. A footpath from the point where the two tracks meet leads to the reserve entrance.
