Shelfanger Meadows is a 10.3-hectare (25-acre) biological Site of Special Scientific Interest north of Diss in Norfolk.[1][2] This site in the valley of a tributary of the River Waveney is described by Natural England as "one of the most important areas of unimproved grassland in Norfolk". It has been traditionally managed by a hay cut followed by grazing for hundreds of years, and as a result its flora is rich, including uncommon species. There are also areas where springs make the grassland marshy.[3] The site is private land with no public access.
