Fox Fritillary Meadow is a 2.4-hectare (5.9-acre) biological Site of Special Scientific Interest north of Framsden in Suffolk. It is owned and managed by the Suffolk Wildlife Trust.[1][2][3]
This unimproved meadow is located on heavy alluvial soils at the bottom of a valley. It has a rich variety of flora, including the herbs cowslip, cuckooflower and ragged robin, together with the largest population in East Anglia of the rare snake's head fritillary.[4]
This site is closed to the public apart from an open day in April.[3]
