Description:
The 300 acres of Sheepleas lie on the chalk slopes of the North Downs within the Surrey Hills Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. The site is a mosiac of woodlands (both ancient and recent) and grassland. This mixture of habitats supports a huge diversity of wildlife, and as a result has been designated as a Site of Special Scientific Interest.
Some of the woods have probably been here for at least 400 years. These ancient woodlands are carpeted with bluebells in Spring.
