Bostar Meadow is situated in an unspoilt and peaceful area of countryside on the Cornwall / Devon border, within easy reach of Holsworthy (3 miles), Launceston (12 miles), Bude (13 miles) and Okehampton (15 miles). A neatly contained and very private meadow which has recently been planted with an array of trees, beginning the transformation of the land from ex agricultural pasture to a vibrant habitat. The meadow has excellent access directly from the public highway and includes an additional ¼ acre or so of well-established broadleaved woodland at the western edge. The meadow also benefits from a gently running stream which forms part of the western boundary. A static caravan is currently situated on the land which is to be included with the sale.

The meadow would be well suited to those with conservation, environmental or amenity interests. The extensive nearby woodland is of great benefit as a valuable seed source which will encourage the natural regeneration of the land, working synergistically with the active tree planting that has already taken place. There is ample open ground for further tree planting work. There also remains the option to reserve a section of the land for wildflower meadow development which would be invaluable for insects and pollinators.

The meadow, along with neighbouring land, already provide a rich habitat for wildlife supporting animals and birds including badgers, hares, woodcock and snipe. The addition of young woodland is only serving to enrich these habitats, creating further corridors through which animals can travel. Further enhancement through the creation of a pond may also be considered.

Overall, Bostar meadow presents an ideal opportunity for anyone interested in conservation, being both a peaceful spot to enjoy spending time and also a haven for local wildlife. It offers a private space with no public rights of way to spend time close to nature with family and friends.

In terms of finding the meadow, at the top of Bendibus Hill there is a crossroads (Bendibus Cross) on the corner of which is a “Planting Land” sign, at which point you head straight down the hill (due north) for roughly 400m. The entrance to the meadow will be on your left hand side via a metal gate, where there is a second sign. Park here and climb the gate, Bostar Meadow is on your left. The boundary features are marked with light blue paint.
