}}Knettishall Heath is a 91.7 hectare biological Site of Special Scientific Interest west of Knettishall in Suffolk.[1][2] A larger area of 176 hectares is the Knettishall Heath nature reserve, which is managed by the Suffolk Wildlife Trust.[3]

Ecology

The site is heath and grassland, mainly on acidic soils, with areas of secondary woodland and wet hollows. There are heathland plants such as sheep's sorrel, tormentil, harebell and heath bedstraw, while wet areas have fen vegetation including water mint and yellow iris.[4]

Footpaths

It is the site where four long-distance footpaths meet: Angles Way, Icknield Way Path, Iceni Way and Peddars Way (part of the Peddars Way and Norfolk Coast Path National Trail). The Hereward Way ends at nearby Harling Road railway station in East Harling, linked to Knettishall Heath by path. The Icknield Way Path joins here with the Peddars Way at the end of its {{convert|110|mile}} journey from Ivinghoe Beacon in Buckinghamshire. The Icknield Way Trail, a multi-user route for walkers, horse riders and off-road cyclists also joins with the Peddars Way riders route.[5]

Access

There is access from an unnamed road leading north from Norwich Lane.
