The Riddy
The Riddy is an 8.4 hectare flood meadow and Local Nature Reserve located in Sandy, Bedfordshire, United Kingdom, bordering the River Ivel. Owned by Sandy Town Council but managed by both the Wildlife Trust for Bedfordshire, Cambridgeshire and Northamptonshire and Bedfordshire Rural Communities Charity, the site gains its name from a small stream which flows through the eastern end of the reserve.〔 The different habitats in the Riddy support a diverse range of species, including a multiplicity of grasses and flowering plants in the meadows, aquatic plants and water voles which inhabit the ditches, ponds and stream, and birds which feed and hunt across the reserve.〔
The Riddy is currently open to the general public; although some of the paths are reasonably rough, the site is most accessible via the riverside path: a disabled access gate is provided as well.〔〔〔 The River Ivel may be fished from the reserve border, but a permit from the town council and national rod license are required.〔
== History ==
The River Ivel used to be bordered by a number of flood meadows, many of which have now been lost: The Riddy is a remnant of this previous network.〔 In the thirteenth century CE, the area now known as The Riddy was referred to as "Parkesriding". In the north-eastern corner of the reserve, a mill pool can be found; whilst the last mill was built here in 1857, evidence shows that mills have been built on the Riddy since at least Norman times.〔
