Lymsworthy Meadows is a Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI) in north Cornwall, England, UK, noted for its biological characteristics. [1]
The 7.7-hectare (19-acre) site, notified in 1992, is situated within Kilkhampton civil parish, 5 miles (8.0 km) north-east of the town of Bude, 1.5 miles (2.4 km) west of the border with Devon. [2] [3]
The streams surrounding the SSSI are tributaries to the upper River Tamar. [3]
The site's habitat mainly consists of moorland and culm grassland that is relatively untouched by agriculture, being one of only a few such sites remaining in Cornwall. The nationally scarce wavy St John's-wort ( Hypericum undulatum) can be found on the site. [1]
A colony of marsh fritillary butterflies (Eurodryas aurinia), a nationally scarce species, is also found on the site. [1]
