It is owned and managed by the Leicestershire and Rutland Wildlife Trust, and is designated a biological Site of Special Scientific Interest under the name Cribb's Lodge Meadows.[1] [2] [3] It is also a National Nature Reserve[4] and a Nature Conservation Review site, Grade 2.[5]
The embankment of a disused railway runs through this ridge and furrow neutral meadow on boulder clay. The diverse flora includes adder's tongue fern, pepper saxifrage, hayrattle and green-winged orchid.[6]
There is access from Fosse Lane, and a footpath runs through the southern end.
