Skater's Meadow is a 5-acre (2 ha) nature reserve vibrant with wildflowers, birds and even the occasional snake. It's classed as a 'lowland meadow and pasture' and you can expect to see flowers such as the Common Spotted-Orchid and Ragged-Robin.

It takes its name from the occasional time in the 19th century when the meadow would flood and freeze. Local children would then be charged 6d (about £2.50 in today's value) to ice skate around the lamppost in the middle.

Nowadays you can't walk on it for any price, but the path will take you right alongside the beautiful meadow.

Skaters Meadow is where the Victorian toffs came to skate. It still has the original gas lamp which is quite interestimg. Apart from that it is a muddy if not waterlogged field... 4/10

"Skaters' Meadow is a wet field and has a highly diverse flora. In spring, a blaze of yellow can be seen as large blossoms of marsh-marigold appear along with the purple of marsh-orchids." (wildlifebcn.org)

Best time to visit, i. e. see see flowering, is spring/summer. Otherwise, hikers will have to be content with a willow and an old lamppost - and a sign describing the former use of the meadow. 😊
