The Somerset Wildlife Trust reserve lies {{convert|3.5|km|mi|abbr=on}} south east of Cheddar. It includes Draycott Sleights, {{convert|40.4|ha|acre}}, and Draycott Housegrounds, {{convert|10.21|ha|acre}}.

The entire reserve is within the Mendips Scarp Prime Biodiversity Area (PBA) and Mendip Hills Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB).[1] Draycott Sleights supports extensive areas of traditionally managed species-rich unimproved calcareous grassland. Additional interest lies in a rich invertebrate fauna. The site is situated on steep south-west facing slopes of the Mendip Hills and ranges in altitude from {{convert|90|m|ft|abbr=on}} to {{convert|270|m|ft|abbr=on}}. 165 species of flowering plant have been recorded. The varied topography together with the widespread scrub provide a number of locations with ideal conditions for invertebrates supporting a rich butterfly fauna typical of unimproved calcareous grassland. 32 species of resident breeding butterfly have been recorded. The occurrence of Adonis blue (Lysandra bellargus), silver-studded blue (Plebejus argus) and small blue (Cupido minimus) is of particular interest. Two nationally scarce species of fly, Symphoromyia immaculata and Bombylius canescens and one nationally scarce species of ant, Myrmica schencki have been recorded for this site.[2] References1. ^{{cite web | title=Draycott Sleights | work=Somerset Wildlife Trust | url=http://www.somersetwildlife.org/reserve.php?name=Draycott_Sleights | accessdate=2009-12-22}} {{Mendip Hills}}{{SSSIs Somerset biological}}2. ^{{cite web | title=Draycott Sleights | work=English Nature | url=http://www.english-nature.org.uk/citation/citation_photo/1001656.pdf | accessdate=2006-07-17}} 4 : Mendip Hills|Sites of Special Scientific Interest in Somerset|Sites of Special Scientific Interest notified in 1987|Nature reserves in Somerset |
