Winllan Coronation Meadow

Coronation Meadows are outstanding examples of our remaining meadows, rich in a wealth of flowers and able to be held up as the flagship meadow for the county they are in. They have been used to create and restore meadows through the collection of seed or 'green' hay. Winllan is in private ownership and is part of a Site of Special Scientific Interest. It is the Coronation Meadow for Ceredigion. The permission of the owner was granted for this picture to be taken and the owners open up their garden and meadows under the National Gardens Scheme.

Winllan Wildlife Garden - Hay Meadow with wild flowers

A garden geared to wildlife. A nature trail passes through hay meadows, woods, past ponds, and along a river bank, where birds, butterflies, and dragonflies abound. The abundant wild-flowers create a lovely display in Spring and early Summer. Link
