Shirehampton Meadow is a small but glittering jewel of calcareous grassland nestled between the busy Portway and the muddy River Avon. As well as delights such as Long-stalked Cranesbill Geranium columbinum, pale St John’s-wort Hypericum montanum, Common Gromwell Lithospermum officinale, Common Rock-rose Helianthemum nummularium and Ploughman’s Spikenard Inula conyzae, there are two long-established patches of Wild Liquorice Astragalus glycyphyllos. The surrounding area holds much of interest too, so we may explore further.
