Benfield Hill Local Nature Reserve

Description

Nature reserves

Brighton & Hove has several local nature reserves in and around the city. Our nature reserves provide wild spaces where plants and animals can thrive. They offer a natural environment, in contrast with formal open green spaces such as parks and gardens. Much of Brighton & Hove is in South Downs National Park. Over half of the area covered by Brighton & Hove City Council is open downland. Most of the coast of Brighton & Hove is also of national wildlife importance.
