Leftwich Meadows

Leftwich boasts both beautiful woodland carpeted with Bluebells and pockets of sunny meadows in which to have a picnic all bordering the River Dane. 

Oak, Sycamore and Ash dominate the woodland with spring-flowers such as the bright yellow of Lesser Celandine. Look out for newly planted Elm trees, home of the elusive White-letter hairstreak butterfly 
which you can spot around the tree-tops.

As well as areas of short grassland ideal for picnic or informal sports, there is a summer meadow which is a hive of activity on a sunny day with stunning Peacock butterflies and the hum of White-tailed bumblebees.

Leftwich Meadows is a haven for wildlife and a chance to enjoy the countryside on your doorstep.
