About Aston Rowant NNR

Aston Rowant NNR sits on the steep west-facing scarp of the Chilterns. It comprises flower-rich chalk grassland together with beech woodland and juniper scrub.

A number of scarce plants can be seen at the reserve, including Chiltern gentian and a wide variety of orchids. The site is also home to many species of butterfly such as the silver-spotted skipper and chalkhill blue.

The reserve's diverse habitats support a variety of bird life and Aston Rowant is renowned as one of the best places in England to see red kites.

The summer months are the best time to visit for butterflies and flowers.
