Ivinghoe Hills is a 210.4 hectares (520 acres)
The site is biologically rich, and it has varied habitats including unimproved chalk grassland, which has some nationally rare species, semi-natural woodland and scrub. Some of the grassland is grazed by sheep and cattle. There are two areas of ancient woodland. An area of ploughed land on Gallows Hill has been retained within the SSSI because some of the weeds are nationally scarce.[1]
There is access from the National Trust car park off the B488 road.[4]
