They're the only examples of marshy meadows in Surrey that haven't been destroyed by modern agriculture. And those marshy areas support Yorkshire fog grass and sharp-flowered rush grass and meadow-sweet grass and wild angelica and marsh marigold. They've got some fantastic names, haven't they? There's also a large colony of southern marsh orchid on Reigate Heath, which I understand is pretty rare.
