Deptford Farm Pastures
Deptford Farm Pastures.[1] is a Site of Special Scientific Interest located near Meddon in Torridge District, in Devon, England. It was designated in 1991 as a protected area because of the traditionally managed heath, mire and fen at the site that form a community known as Culm Grassland.
Plant species that are abundant at the site include Devil's bit-Scabious (Succisa pratensis). Rarer plant species at the site include Petty Whin (Genista anglica).
Part of the land area that is designated as the Deptford Farm Pastures Site of Special Scientific Interest is owned by Forestry Commission[2]
