Mountsorrel Meadows is a 12.6abbr=offNaNabbr=off nature reserve on the eastern outskirts of Mountsorrel in Leicestershire. It is purchased by the Leicestershire and Rutland Wildlife Trust in 2004.[1]
This site on the bank of the River Soar was farmland until 2006, but is now managed for wildlife. Areas of wet woodland have been created by a combination of planting and natural regeneration. Other parts of the site are now wet grassland and wet scrapes.[1]
There is access to the site by footpaths, but visitors are requested to use the viewing platform and not to enter the main meadow.[1]
