Lymsworthy Meadows

Lymsworthy Meadows is a Site of Special Scientific Interest in north Cornwall, England, UK, noted for its biological characteristics.

Geography

The site, notified in 1992, is situated within Kilkhampton civil parish, north-east of the town of Bude, west of the border with Devon.
The streams surrounding the SSSI are tributaries to the upper River Tamar.

Wildlife and ecology

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 can be found on the site.
A colony of marsh fritillary butterflies, a nationally scarce species, is also found on the site.
