Fremington Local Nature Reserve is a Local Nature Reserve situated between Bideford and Barnstaple in North Devon. The Local Nature Reserve was designated in 2006.[1] The reserve comprises two separate areas: Lovell's Field and Leat Meadow. Both locations are County Wildlife Sites, and are within the North Devon Biosphere Reserve.

Lovell's Field

Lovell's Field is Script error: No such module "convert". of coastal and floodplain grazing marsh, owned by North Devon Council. Cattle grazing was re-introduced in 2009 to Lovell's Field to help prevent it becoming overgrown and rank.[2] Trees have been cleared from the main part of the field in 2011 to prevent drying out and create attractive conditions for estuarine birds. A scrape was constructed at Lovell's Field in 2016 and a new pond dug at Leat Meadow in 2019. Both of these project were implemented to improve the variety of habitats on the reserve.
