A small downland site noted for insects, which has since suffered from scrub invasion and tree-planting. The site survives today as Alkham, Lydden and Swingfield Woods Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI). It consists of a number of woodlands and patches of chalk grassland, where lady, fly and burnt orchids can be seen. Natural England works with local landowners and the White Cliffs Countryside Project to ensure its protection.
