Meadows are one of the rarest habitats in the UK, with 97% of this habitat lost in Britain since World War II. English Heritage properties have some of the last remaining meadows, which are vital for biodiversity. With careful management, areas of longer grass have been developed to encourage growth. The grasslands in and around many of their sites can provide much needed habitat for a wide range of flora and fauna such as wildflowers and butterflies. On some sites there has been a long history of grasslands and meadows, including the meadows at Down House and Osborne.

The exclusive Meadow design is inspired by illustrations of wildflowers native to our English meadows, offered two colours to coordinate with our plain fabrics.
