About

Preston Hill is half grassland and half woodland and in the summer months  is covered with wild flowers. A variety of butterflies including chalkhill blues and dark green fritillaries can also be seen on the chalk grassland.

Herd of goats

The grassland is managed by grazing the park's own herd of feral goats, which came from the Great Orme, near Colwyn Bay in North Wales.

You can see the remains of an old MOD firing range on site.

The site has no waymarked trails, so is best suited to hardy walkers who are familiar with using OS maps.
