The primary habitat at this site is calcareous grassland. We also monitor heathland.
An introduction to the NNR can be found in the NNR leaflet attached below.

| 2006 – 2023 | 1996-2009 and 2023 onwards | 2011, 2014, 2018 & 2023 | 2011 & 2018 | 1991 – 2023 | 1979 onwards |
• See UKAir for air quality data.
• Vegetation data: permanent plot numbers and locations should be consistent between surveys, for each site. At the time of survey, for any previously installed feno markers that could not be found, a new feno marker was installed at the same GPS coordinates and the plot number changed from e.g. ‘2’ to ‘2a’. This is less likely since the start of high accuracy GPS unit use. Species data are consistent with the taxonomy at the time of collection and are not consistent over time; see the data on the Vegetation Data page for taxonomically consistent data.
• See LTMN Soils Data page for soil data.
• See also LTMN Butterfly Data page for compiled butterfly data.
• Bird and weather data are no longer collected as part of LTMN but may still be collected. Please email us (LTMN@naturalengland.org.uk) for further information.
