Bosworth Mill Meadow is a 5.7hectare biological Site of Special Scientific Interest north-west of Welford in Northamptonshire.[1] [2]

This hay meadow is traditionally managed. The main flora are crested dog's-tail and common knapweed, with meadow foxtail and great burnet in wet areas. Springs produce seepages which are rich in mosses and sedges. Dry upper slopes are species poor.[3]

There is access from a footpath which runs through the western corner.
