Knocking Hoe, Nature reserve in Bedfordshire, England.
The 7.7-hectare reserve contains chalk grassland with steep valley sides and supports populations of rare plants including moon carrot and field fleawort.
The land bears evidence of medieval agricultural practices through its strip lynchet field system, which has remained unchanged over many centuries.
Natural England manages this protected area as both a National Nature Reserve and Site of Special Scientific Interest, emphasizing its environmental value.
Visitors can access the reserve through a footpath from Hitchin Road in Pegsdon, with parking available 500 meters south on the B655.
The autumn lady's tresses orchids at this location have been continuously studied for over fifty years, contributing to botanical research.
