Gypsy Camp Meadows, Thrandeston is a 2.4-hectare (5.9-acre) biological Site of Special Scientific Interest north of Thrandeston in Suffolk.[1][2]

These wet meadows on poorly drained boulder clay have a rich variety of flora, and drainage ditches, areas of drier grassland and hedges add to the diversity. Plants include early purple orchid, ragged robin, zig-zag clover and water avens.[3]

The site is private land with no public access.
