Perched high on the Chilterns escarpment, the reserve contains flower-rich chalk grassland, woodland and juniper scrub. There are fantastic views over the Oxford plain and it's a great place to watch red kites soaring overhead.

In the summer you can walk through acres of wildflowers, including pungent thyme and marjoram and delicate orchids. Many butterflies flit around the flowers.

Information leaflets are available at the site and there are some waymarked trails, including an easy access trail.
