Stanmore Country Park Nature Trail

Post 21: In the summer, 40 Acre Field is a sea of yellow meadow buttercup Ranunculus acris. From this point we have a good view over London. Wembley Stadium is clear on the right, but can you find the Shard, the BT Tower and the London Eye? On a clear day one can see the North Downs beyond the London basin.

Flowers to see in the grassland in spring and summer include creeping buttercup Ranunculus repens, cuckoo flower Cardamine pratensis, common vetch Vicia sativa and greater stitchwort Stellaria holostea.
