Yeading Brook Meadows Local Nature Reserve is one of the most important grassland sites in Greater London. It is cut for hay in late summer, with some areas being left uncut to provide overwintering sites for invertebrates and small mammals. Skylark breeds in the hay meadow and can be seen flying overhead in summer. Yeading Brook Meadows is managed by the London Wildlife Trust on behalf of the London Boroughs of Hillingdon and Ealing. This is just south of Kingshill Avenue which is just beyond the trees ahead. A close up of the information board for this part of the Meadows can be seen at https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/5822333 T
