Wotton Hill SSSI, Protected natural conservation area in Gloucestershire, England.
The Wotton Hill Site includes 26.1 hectares of woodland, scrub, grassland, and disused quarries on the Cotswold Hills limestone scarp.
The site received its official designation as a Site of Special Scientific Interest in 1954, with subsequent ratification in 1986 for preservation purposes.
Scientists and researchers regularly visit Wotton Hill to study the limestone woundwort, a rare plant species first discovered in this location in 1897.
Visitors can access the site through marked pathways while following conservation guidelines that prohibit camping, fires, and off-trail exploration.
The limestone grasslands of Wotton Hill support specific butterfly populations, including chalkhill blue and brown argus species.
