The town's main claim to fame is the large nature reserve, North Meadow, which harbours some 80% of Britain's wild Snake's Head Fritillaries in its 150 acres (just over 60 hectares), which flower in late April to early May. The meadow is situated between two rivers, the Thames and the Churn, and the unique habitat for the fritillary was created by winter flooding. Such meadows were once common in Britain, but with the advent of modern farming many were drained and ploughed for arable crops from the 1730s onwards. In the case of North Meadow, it escaped such a fate by virtue of the preservation of the Court Leet, the Saxon system of town governance which made sure the land was held in common. North Meadow, Cricklade (grid reference SU094946) is a hay meadow near the village of Cricklade, in Wiltshire, England. ...
