Meadows that are set amid the small hedged fields around Goulceby.
Small meadows with rich grassland and hedgerow flora.
Two small damp meadows adjoining Hatton Wood (SSSI).
These meadows have a wealth of grassland flowers including cowslip, green-winged orchid and adder's tongue.
The site is surrounded by large hedges on a gently sloping site with boulder clay soils, typical of the Middle Marsh.
Seven interconnected meadows including a colony of frog orchids.

The reserve consists of two meadows, named Bottleneck and Jackson's paddock, and the adjoining Lawn Wood.
