This County Wildlife Site is located to the north-west of the village of Little Blakenham. It adjoins another species-rich grassland County Wildlife Site which is situated to the south. The chalky soils of Nut Tree Cottage Meadow are colonised by a diverse flora including many plants which are typically associated with unimproved grassland. In addition to a wide range of fairly common wild flowers, e g. cowslip and agrimony, the site also supports a number of species which are scarce and declining in Suffolk, including yellow- wort, pyramidal orchid and sulphur clover. The latter species is a nationally scarce species which is found only in 15 - 100 10 km squares in the UK. Nut Tree Cottage Meadow represents a valuable fragment of agriculturally unimproved grassland which is the most threatened habitat in Suffolk. The site is therefore a valuable addition to the Register of County Wildlife Sites (Mid Suffolk District).
