The Smithcombe, Sharpenhoe and Sundon Hills cover 86 hectares in Bedfordshire. With thick forests, gentle slopes and wildflowers, the area is a lovely place to cycle, hike and enjoy a picnic. The hills make up part of the Chilterns Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and are considered a Site of Special Scientific Interest.

Here, you will find plenty of interesting plants and wildlife. As the hills are made mostly of unimproved chalk grassland, there are lots of rare species. Look out for rabbits too!
