Ham Hill, Wiltshire, Protected chalk downland in Hungerford, England.
The steep slopes of Ham Hill extend across 2 hectares of land, featuring a combination of short herb grasslands and taller vegetation zones.
The sunken track running through Ham Hill dates from Saxon or medieval times, connecting the towns of Hungerford and Andover through the centuries.
The nature reserve maintains traditional land management practices through sheep grazing, which helps preserve the native chalk grassland ecosystem.
Visitors can access the reserve through a northern entrance with space for two cars near the kissing gate, though the paths include steep steps.
The site harbors one of only two confirmed populations of musk orchids in Wiltshire, along with seven other orchid species and rare butterflies.
