This open area of former agricultural land comprises Ash Green Meadows in the western part, characterised by semi-improved damp grassland, and a number of improved grassland fields in the east. Scattered Oak trees within the eastern fields create a pleasant parkland character and mature wooded strips, hedgerows, scrub and seasonal ponds add to the rural atmosphere of the site. A number of footpaths provide opportunities for enjoyable circular and short walks and wildlife spotting.
The site includes Ash Green Meadows (Cardinal Fields), a Site of Nature Conservation Importance (SNCI), which is home to a range of damp grassland species including Sneezewort Achillea ptarmica. Ephemeral ponds and a number of wet ditches add further ecological interest in this area.
