Lingfield Cernes is a 10.3-hectare (25-acre) biological Site of Special Scientific Interest east of Lingfield in Surrey.[1][2]

Site details

This site has unimproved meadows which are poorly drained and there are a number of uncommon plants, including two which are nationally scarce, true fox-sedge and narrow-leaved water dropwort. The site also has species-rich mature hedgerows and aquatic plants in ditches which run into the Eden Brook, which runs along the northern boundary.[3]

The site is private land but it is crossed by public footpaths.
