Prestwick Road Meadows is a 2.8 hectare Local Nature Reserve in South Oxhey in Hertfordshire. It is owned and managed by Three Rivers District Council.[1][2]

This site was formerly farm meadows. It has many insects and flowers include purple knapweed, yellow birdsfoot-trefoil and red clover. Old hedgerows still survive, and there is also a seasonal pond where frogs breed in the spring.[3]

There is access from Prestwick Road between Little Oxhey Lane and Heysham Drive.
