Welcome to Chertsey Meads

Chertsey Meads is a beautiful and tranquil area located in Surrey, England. It is a popular destination for nature lovers and outdoor enthusiasts, as it offers a wide range of activities such as walking, cycling, fishing, and bird watching. The meads are situated on the banks of the River Thames and cover an area of approximately 170 acres. The landscape is characterized by lush greenery, wildflowers, and a variety of wildlife, making it a perfect spot for a peaceful retreat.

The history of Chertsey Meads dates back to the 12th century when it was used as a grazing ground for cattle. Over the years, it has undergone several transformations, including being used as a military training ground during World War II. Today, it is a protected area and is managed by the National Trust. The meads are home to a diverse range of flora and fauna, including rare species such as the water vole and the kingfisher. Visitors can explore the area on foot or by bike, and there are several picnic spots and benches dotted around the meads for those who want to take a break and enjoy the scenery.

Chertsey Meads is not only a beautiful natural area but also a significant cultural site. It is believed to be the location of the Battle of Chertsey, which took place in 871 AD between the Anglo-Saxons and the Vikings. The meads are also home to St. Ann's Hill, which is a popular spot for local folklore and legends. According to local tales, the hill was once the site of a pagan temple and was later used as a place of worship by early Christians. Today, visitors can climb to the top of the hill and enjoy panoramic views of the surrounding countryside.
