Grafton Lock Meadow

Grafton Lock Meadow is a Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI) in Oxfordshire, England. It is located 2km east of Kelmscott and is situated on the bank of the River Thames directly south of Grafton Lock. This area is protected because this meadow has not been improved with modern fertilisers and has long been managed traditionally for hay and autumn pasture. This meadow is celebrated for its population of the plant called snake's-head fritillary.
