Made up of five fields, Houghton Meadows Nature Reserve is a gorgeous place for a stroll. Spring and summer are the best times to wander along the ancient hay meadows and pasture fields, when yellow cowslips, the pink spears of orchids and the purple of knapweed are at their most vivid. The distinctive hairy dragonfly is a common sight here too.
