Middle Street Meadow is an area of old water meadow, with public access. The meadow is situated in West Harnham in the City of Salisbury. GR. 132294. It is part of a green corridor along the river which extends into the heart of the city and includes the adjacent Harnham Water Meadows Reserve and Nadder Island, a Wiltshire Wildlife Trust Reserve.
Middle Street Meadow has a central playing field area of level ground which is regularly mowed and is used for football through the winter months and more latterly for cricket in the summer. Around this field area there are well maintained grass pathways popular with local dog walkers and local residents. There are other areas of grass which are less frequently mown which are left for the benefit of wildlife. The meadow is bordered on its northern side by the river Nadder.
The Middle Street Meadow conservation group was set up to enable the local community to take an active part in the use and future of the meadow and through improved management, to increase the wildflowers, butterflies and bird life of the site.
