Hankley Farm is a 2.4abbr=offNaNabbr=off biological Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI) west of Elstead in Surrey.[1] [2]
This sandy arable field has been designated an SSSI because of its large population of a nationally endangered plant, red-tipped cudweed. This was formerly a common weed on arable fields, but it has been in sharp decline since the 1960s. The colonies in the site and neighbouring fields may represent as much as 50% of the British population.[3]
The site is private land with no public access.
