About Crickley Hill Country Park

A country park on the Cotswold scarp with extensive views. It is a site with nature conservation, geological & archaeological interest. It has a visitor centre (seasonal opening) and a number of waymarked trails. It is a good resource for school visits with guides by arrangement. It is an excellent area for the study of wildlife and ecology with over 200 species of wild flower, 34 species of butterfly, and a wide range of other invertebrates.
Most of the park is designated as a Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI), with a range of habitats from unimproved limestone grassland to mature beech woodland. Part of the site is a Scheduled Ancient Monument (SAM) which has been intensively excavated over a period of 25 years. The result is a detailed documentation of the archaeological interest of the hillfort area. Crickley Hill is also of major geological interest due to the limestone outcrops around its boundary.
