More information:

Muker Meadows - many of the upland hay meadows that surround the village of Muker are already home to a variety of wildflowers or are undergoing hay meadow restoration. The meadows are actively farmed, privately owned and some of them are protected as part of the Muker Meadows Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI) and the Northern Pennine Dales Meadows Special Area of Conservation (SAC). The Muker area provides one of the best places in the Yorkshire Dales National Park, to see upland hay meadows from public rights of way. Hay meadows are at their best for only a very short period - after grazing animals have been excluded and before the hay is ready to be cut. Therefore, the best time to see the Muker meadows is between late May and early July. At this time of year, many wild flowers typical of this habitat can be seen, such as the meadow buttercup.
