Malford Meadow

Malford Meadow lies immediately on the north side of the Village and extends from the river eastwards towards the Nurseries. The Meadow is a village amenity available to all residents for use as a community and where the protection of wildlife is a priority. It was formally acquired by the Parish Council by way of a Community Asset Transfer from Wiltshire Council in March 2016.

There are entrances to the Meadow adjacent to the Church at the western end and off the Green at the eastern end. It covers an area of approximately 4.5 hectares (11 acres) and is relatively flat, around 55 metres (180ft) above mean sea level. It extends for roughly 760 metres, about half a mile, from end to end. The longer grass in the Meadow is cut and removed two or three times a year and there is a programme for keeping nettles under control.
