Seaton Meadows is an 11.4hectare biological Site of Special Scientific Interest east of Seaton in Rutland.[1] [2] It is owned and managed by Plantlife.[3]

This site is traditionally managed as hay pasture, and it is an example of unimproved alluvial flood meadows, a rare habitat due to agricultural developments. The grasses are diverse, including meadow foxtail, red fescue, sweet vernal grass and Yorkshire fog.[4]

There is access from the B672 road.
