Your Local Nature Reserve

A hub for wildlife

Designated a local nature reserve, Foots Cray Meadows is rife with a variety of flora and fauna.

​

From swans to bats to grass snakes, oak trees to wildflower meadows, escape the suburban surroundings and take a breath of nature.

A place steeped in history

Evidence of manor houses on the site of Foots Cray Meadows can be found stretching back to the Domesday book of 1086.

​

Since then, the story of the Meadows has involved Queen Elizabeth I, the execution of Mary, Queen of Scots, one of our longest serving Chancellors of the Exchequer, and more.
