Camp Down

Camp Down (grid reference SU120338) is a 7.3-hectare (18-acre) biological Site of Special Scientific Interest in Wiltshire in South West England.

[3] The down has a chalk grassland that has been well grazed and contains numerous plants, as is typical of grass sites in South Wilshire.

[2] There are a number of young sycamore trees on the site, alongside patches of scrub and scattered bushes.

The environment of chalk grassland mixed with scattered scrub means Camp Down is frequented to a number of types of birds and insects.

In 2019, Natural England reported that the government would grant a licence for badger culling on the site in the interests of preserving the environment.
