That does sound like perfect butterfly territory - unimproved, unsprayed rough grassland with a mix of wild grasses and butterfly food plants...
The only thing I can think of is maybe there's a problem with the actual management - the grass not being allowed to grow high enough, or being cut too early, or overgrazed by livestock or rabbits? Might your your local wildlife trust have published anything on habitat management in your area?
