Tean Valley Meadow Nature Reserve is an 11-acre nature reserve, 1 mile north of Uttoxeter. The reserve was originally a private project which began in 2002 but is now managed by a charitable trust, what started as an empty, unimproved field, is now an oasis for nature, with over 3000 trees planted, a number of pond and wetland habitats created, a wildflower meadow maintained and much, much more.
