Huntingdon is home to England's largest meadow, Portholme Meadow, which is around 257 acres. It contains rare types of grass, flowers and dragonfly, including being the only recognised habitat of the Marsh Dandelion in Great Britain. The meadow works as a natural reservoir by holding water in durations of flooding, allowing the river to drain slowly, which alleviates the flooding of close-by towns. Within Huntingdon are many local businesses, that includes a regional Horseracing Course, Huntingdon Racecourse, and the many offices and storage facilities on the Hinchinbrooke Business Park. High levels of self-employed people in the town, being above regional and national averages, has actually characterised the town as having a strong sense of entrepreneurialism.
