Langmead and Weston Level


Langmead and Weston Level is a 168.8 hectare biological Site of Special Scientific Interest in Somerset, notified in 1991.
Langmead and Weston Level form part of the nationally important grazing marsh and ditch systems of the Somerset Levels and Moors. The site is nationally important for its species-rich neutral grassland and the invertebrate community found in the ditches and rhynes. The land lies in the flood plain of the River Parrett and many of the fields are poorly
drained and seasonally water-logged. The terrestrial and aquatic invertebrates recorded on the site include four nationally
rare species: the Great Silver Diving Beetle, the soldier fly and two true flies, Lonchoptera scutellata and Stenomicra cogani.
