Pakenham Meadows is a 5.8-hectare (14-acre) biological Site of Special Scientific Interest north of Pakenham in Suffolk. [1] [2]
This unimproved and poorly drained meadow has a variety of soil types from loam to peat, and the vegetation types are correspondingly diverse. The herb-rich grassland has yellow rattle, bugle, fen bedstraw, oxe-eye daisy, ragged robin and southern marsh orchid. [3]
A public footpath from Fen Road goes through the site.
