Cloatley Meadows

A wildflower meadow bursting with colour in the summer months, and calming green grasses in the winter. Cloatley Meadows provides a tranquil setting for a peaceful stroll. Listen to the rustel of the grasses, the buzzing of bees, watch butterflies flutter by, and simply enjoy the natural beauty around you.
