Some of the meadows at Muker are protected as part of the Muker meadows Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI) and the Northern Pennine Dales Meadows Special Area of Conservation (SAC). 12 fields at Muker offer a wide range of wild flowers which include cat's ear, wood crane's bill, buttercups, lady's mantle, yellow rattle, rough hawkbit, sweet vernal grass, pignut and melancholy thistle as well as a wide range of pollinating insects, birds and small mammals. Six of the fields have flagged paths. The best time to view the meadows is in June.

Hiking

The beautiful wildflower meadows of Muker. On the edge of Muker village, so easily accessible for people of all ages and abilities, or a start/end point for the many excellent Upper Swaledale hikes.
