Most of the site is dominated by open grassland and comprised of a range of habitats which are home to many different species. The River Pinn divides Pinn Meadows in two. An area of more formal space which includes short-mown grass and football fields is situated in the eastern side of the meadows.
The Celandine Route runs through the site and with many other mowed pathways creates a great network of trails enjoyed by all, especially by dog walkers.
