Metfield Meadow is a 1.3-hectare (3.2-acre) biological Site of Special Scientific Interest west of Halesworth in Suffolk.[1][2] It is owned and managed by Suffolk Wildlife Trust under the name Winks Meadow.[3]
This meadow on a disused airfield is unimproved grassland, with a rich variety of flora on chalky boulder clay. There are many green-winged orchids, cowslips and pepper saxifrages.[4] The meadow is grazed by cattle or cut for hay to maintain the diversity of the wild flowers.[3]
There is access to the site from Nunn's Lane.
