Most of the site is maintained jointly by the National Trust and the Wildlife Trust for Bedfordshire, Cambridgeshire and Northamptonshire (WTBCN), and is part of the WTBCN Totternhoe nature reserve, which also includes Totternhoe Chalk Quarry and Totternhoe Stone Pit. The SSSI also includes Totternhoe Castle, the earthworks of a Norman motte-and-bailey castle which is a Scheduled Monument.[6][7] Part of the site was formerly quarry workings for Totternhoe stone, a strong chalk that was used in Westminster Abbey. It is now grassland with a rich variety of plant species, including some that are now rare. There are a number of orchids and a wide variety of invertebrates, including butterflies such as the common blue, chalkhill blue, and the scarce small blue and Duke of Burgundy.[1][6][3] Totternhoe Castle was probably built in the late eleventh century. Only the earthworks survive, with a mound five metres tall and 40 metres wide. It is unusual in having three baileys.[7] There is access from the National Trust car park off Castle Hill Road. {{commons category}}References1. ^1 {{cite web|url= http://www.sssi.naturalengland.org.uk/citation/citation_photo/1001561.pdf|title=Totternhoe Knolls citation|series= Sites of Special Scientific Interest|publisher=Natural England|accessdate= 10 September 2015}} {{coord|51.8852 | -0.5688|type:landmark_region:GB-BNE|display=title}}2. ^{{cite web|url= http://magic.defra.gov.uk/MagicMap.aspx?startTopic=Designations&activelayer=sssiIndex&query=HYPERLINK%3D%271001561%27|title=Map of Totternhoe Knolls|series= Sites of Special Scientific Interest|publisher=Natural England|accessdate= 10 September 2015}} 3. ^1 {{cite web|url=http://www.lnr.naturalengland.org.uk/special/lnr/lnr_details.asp?C=0&N=Totternhoe&ID=471 |title= Totternhoe Knolls|series=Local Nature Reserves|publisher=Natural England|accessdate=10 September 2015}} 4. ^{{cite web|url= http://magic.defra.gov.uk/MagicMap.aspx?startTopic=Designations&activelayer=lnrIndex&query=REF_CODE%3D%271009206%27|title=Map of Totternhoe Knolls|series=Local Nature Reserves|publisher=Natural England|accessdate=10 September 2015}} 5. ^{{cite book|title=The Chilterns|publisher=English Nature|page=39|first=Derek|last=Langslow}} 6. ^1 {{cite web|url=http://www.wildlifebcn.org/reserves/totternhoe-knolls-and-quarry|title=Totternhoe|publisher=Wildlife Trust for Bedfordshire, Cambridgeshire and Northamptonshire|accessdate=10 September 2015}} 7. ^1 {{NHLE|num=1020772|desc=Totternhoe Castle: a motte and bailey castle, medieval quarries and cultivation terraces|accessdate=10 September 2015}} External links
