Ivinghoe Hills, Protected chalk grassland site in Buckinghamshire, England.
The Ivinghoe Hills stretch across 210 hectares of land, featuring rare chalk grassland habitats and ancient woodland sections within the Chilterns landscape.
An Iron Age hillfort remains at Ivinghoe Beacon, while Gallows Hill contains a Bronze Age burial mound, both recognized as scheduled monuments.
The land management includes traditional grazing practices with sheep and cattle to maintain the specific grassland characteristics for native species.
Visitors can reach the site through the National Trust car park on the B488 road, with access to both the Ridgeway path and Icknield Way.
The protected area contains nationally scarce weed species on Gallows Hill, where a section of ploughed land has been specifically preserved.
