Avery's Pightle is a 1.3abbr=offNaNabbr=off biological Site of Special Scientific Interest south of Enborne in Berkshire.[1] [2] It is managed by the Berkshire, Buckinghamshire and Oxfordshire Wildlife Trust.[3]
This unimproved meadow is species rich and it has surviving ridge and furrow, suggesting a long history of traditional management without modern herbicides or fertilisers. Twenty-four species of grass and a hundred and thirteen herbs have been recorded. There is a wet ditch which has water whorl grass.[4]
There is access to the site from Church Lane.
