Ringstead Downs is a 6.9-hectare (17-acre) biological Site of Special Scientific Interest east of Hunstanton in Norfolk, England.
[1][2] It is in the Norfolk Coast Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty,[3] and it is the western part of the 11-hectare (27-acre) Ringstead Downs nature reserve, which is managed by the Norfolk Wildlife Trust.
[4] It is a dry chalk valley which was carved out by glacial meltwaters.
It is species-rich as it has never been ploughed, and it is the largest surviving area of chalk downland surviving in the county.
[5] A footpath between Ringstead and Downs Road in Hunstanton goes through the reserve.
