Wansford Pasture is a 3.1hectare biological Site of Special Scientific Interest in Wansford in Cambridgeshire.[1] [2] It is part of the 7.3 hectare Wansford Pasture & Standen's Pasture, a nature reserve managed by the Wildlife Trust for Bedfordshire, Cambridgeshire and Northamptonshire (WTBCN).[3]
This is a south-facing slope, with Jurassic limestone grassland and a flush lower down which has a wide variety of wet-loving plants, including some which are rare in the county. The ecology is maintained by avoiding the use of fertilisers and herbicides, and by grazing.[4] The WTBCN was enlarged by the donation of Standen's Pasture in 2007.[3]
There is access to the site from Old Leicester Road.
