Therfield Heath, Nature reserve and Site of Special Scientific Interest in Therfield, England
The chalk grasslands of Therfield Heath extend across rolling hills, providing a home for numerous wildflower species and diverse wildlife populations throughout the seasons.
Archaeological excavations at Therfield Heath revealed ancient burial grounds from the Neolithic period, including long barrows and multiple Bronze Age round barrows.
Local residents maintain traditional practices on Therfield Heath, with sheep grazing activities contributing to the preservation of native plant species.
