- Overview
-
This 15 hectare local nature reserve lies on the chalk escarpment. Along with neighbouring Blow’s Downs, it is a haven for wildlife with chalk downland species and migratory birds. Management aims to restore the chalk grassland to its former glory and scrub is cleared each winter to allow wildflowers and grasses to thrive. There are several paths crossing the site, many of which are steep. This site is managed in partnership with the Wildlife Trust.
