Totternhoe Knolls accessible countryside site
Totternhoe Knolls combines history with wildlife and landscape. The medieval motte and bailey castle gives stunning views over the surrounding countryside and the chalk grassland has a wealth of wildlife to see.
In the summer the grassland blooms with wildflowers and these attract butterflies and other insects.

The surfaced path begins at the kissing gate before the car park height barrier. This route up to Castle Hill and around the meadow is the most accessible for wheelchairs and pushchairs. The grass path leading to Castle Hill is firm when dry.
