Meadowtown contains a Site of Special Scientific Interest according to the U.K. government. A long-disused quarry in the hamlet is "a well known fossil collecting locality and has yielded typical and distinctive trilobites including Oxygiocarella debuchi, Marrolithus craticulatus, Lloydolithus lloydii and Oxyginus cordensis novenarius. Species of the brachiopod genus Dalmanella and occasional sponge spicules also occur."[2]
Meadowtown is also home to "Mammoth", a cow made famous on the internet involving a UK milk-price dispute in 2017.[3]
