Basildon Meadows is a 6.5-hectare (16-acre) biological Site of Special Scientific Interest on the southern outskirts of Basildon in Essex.[1][2]
The site is composed of three unimproved meadows which have a wide variety of herbs. The principal grasses are creeping bent, rye-grass and crested dog's tail. Flowers include the green-winged orchid and yellow rattle, which are rare in Essex. There is also a small pond and scattered scrub.[1]
The fields are private land with no public access.
