Coordinates: 50°55′39″N 4°27′39″W / 50.9275°N 4.4608°W Meddon Moor is a Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI), noted for its biodiversity, in Cornwall, England, UK.[1] The moor is located in the very north-eastern corner of Cornwall, on the border with Devon, within the civil parish of Morwenstow.[2] The village of Meddon, which is actually in Devon, lies 500 metres to the north-east of the moor.
The Meddon Moor SSSI sits on the Carboniferous Culm Measures of North Cornwall, and contains the largest single area of remaining Culm grassland in Cornwall.[1]
