Tixover Churchyard
Selected Wild Place / Other Wild Places / Public Rights of Way / VC55 boundary
From the A47, exit into Tixover and follow the road south through the village. The church is well-signposted, and it is possible to drive all the way up the track to the church, but it is very rutted and may not be suitable for all cars.
The preferable option would be to park the car in the village and walk to the church (approximately 10 minutes).
Two bus services stop at Jurassic Way, which is at the top of the village. These are the 4R (CallConnect) and 47 (Centrebus).

Site species count:
This little church is in a beautiful position away from the tiny village of Tixover, along a field track by the River Welland. The church cannot be seen from the village, as it is nearly ¾ mile along a track through Manor Farm. The earliest parts of the church date to the 12th century, but much of the church's monuments were damaged in the Cromwellian Period. The churchyard is separated from the surrounding fields by a small wall, and offers good views over the river.
Species-rich calcareous grassland including Clustered Bellflower Campanula glomerata, the sedge Carex divulsa ssp leersii and Small Scabious Scabiosa columbaria.
