The edge or bank of a ditch; the area immediately beside a drainage channel.
Compound from 'ditch' and 'side' (Old English 'sīde,' meaning edge or flank), describing the literal side or edge of a ditch.
Ditchsides are where some of Britain's rarest wildflowers grow—the wet soil and protection from mowing creates a perfect micro-habitat for plants like green-winged orchids!
