Thornwood Common Flood Meadow
Thornwood Common Flood Meadow is a nature reserve of seven and a half acres by Thornwood Common in Essex. It is owned and managed by the local council.[1][2]
The flood meadow was created in 1998 by the council and the National Rivers Authority to alleviate flooding in Thornwood Common village and its parish, and it is managed for nature conservation. A wetland meadow, 800 trees and a 200-yard hedge have been created. Flowers include ragged robin, oxeye daisy and knapweed.[3]
There is access by a footpath from Thornwood Common High Road, south of Woodside.
