Nature reserve in the United Kingdom
Skaters' Meadow is a 2-hectare (4.9-acre) nature reserve in Newnham Croft, Cambridge, UK. It is owned by Cambridge Past, Present & Future and leased for management by the Wildlife Trust for Bedfordshire, Cambridgeshire and Northamptonshire. It takes its name from times in the 19th century, when it would freeze and the public were charged to skate around the gas lamp that still stands in the middle.
