Mickfield Meadow is a 1.9hectare biological Site of Special Scientific Interest north of Mickfield in Suffolk.[1] [2] It is managed by the Suffolk Wildlife Trust.[3]

Fertilisers and herbicides have never been used on this meadow, and as a result it has a rich variety of flora, including fritillary. The dominant grasses are meadow foxtail, cocksfoot, false oat-grass, timothy and Yorkshire fog.[4]

There is access by walking along a field margin from Brook Lane.
