There is a permissible path that runs through the centre of the meadow which can be accessed from the Strawberry Line (only this entrance has an accessible route) or the public bridle path opposite Kings Wood carpark (Winscombe Hill)
The meadow is now one of the few remaining pieces of unimproved neutral/acid grassland sites in the Vale of Winscombe.
There are over 130 different plant species recorded, including Devil's-Bit Scabious, Cowslips, Betony, Common Spotted Orchis and Tormentil. Also, 21 different kinds of butterfly have been recorded.
Have a wander around the meadow looking at the fauna and flora and find the answers to these questions (all within the vicinity of the meadow).

Thank you to Judith Tranter and The Mendip Society for giving me permission for this cache. Some of you may remember Judith when she came on my Introduction to Geocaching Walk at Burrington that I did for the Mendip Society in September 2009.
