A peaceful oasis of rough grassland and scrub providing shelter and food for wildlife amongst the arable landscape of South Holderness.

Hopyard Hay Meadow is home to a glorious mix of wildflowers surrounded by ancient hedgerows.

In the lush, green, rolling countryside of the Howardian Hills, the wet pasture and lowland marsh of this tiny riverside reserve come alive with wildflowers in spring and summer.

Created as recently as 2012, it hasn't taken long for Kilnsea Wetlands to establish itself as a birdwatching hotspot and an unmissable part of a visit to the Spurn peninsula.

A dazzling array of floral colours and scents, hundreds of butterflies, singing yellowhammers, chirruping grasshoppers- a summer walk at Kiplingcotes Chalk Pit is a treat for the senses.

If you’re out walking in the Lower Aire Valley, pay a visit to Kippax Meadows, an accessible reserve with great potential and already home to a number of uncommon plants.

It doesn’t have to be the Summer of Love to enjoy an explosion of flower power. Let Ledsham Bank’s vivid wildflower display blow your mind this June or July!

When hundreds of orchids are in bloom, the birds are singing, and the ponds are alive with dragonflies and damselflies, it’s a far cry from Ledston Luck’s industrial past.

Mining bees now use the exposed coal bank of this former colliery, bee orchids bloom in the meadow, and the lagoons are a magnet for dragonflies!

A traditional hay meadow, with an eye-popping display of flowers between May and mid-July, this is a glorious example of the species-rich meadows that were once common in the Dales.
