}}Grangelands and Pulpit Hill is a 25.5 hectare biological Site of Special Scientific Interest in Cadsden in Buckinghamshire. It lies within the Chilterns Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, and the planning authorities are Wycombe District Council and Buckinghamshire County Council.[1][2] Pulpit Hill is a National Trust site,[3] and Grangelands was formerly owned by Buckinghamshire County Council and was transferred to the Berkshire, Buckinghamshire and Oxfordshire Wildlife Trust in 2014.[4][5]

The site has grassland and scrub, which support interesting breeding birds and invertebrates, such as glow-worms and marbled white and chalk hill blue butterflies. There are areas of mature beech woodland, with a sparse shrub layer of holly and elder.[1]

There is a small but well-preserved multivallate hill fort on the summit of Pulpit Hill, which dates to the late Bronze Age and Iron Age. It is a scheduled monument under the Ancient Monuments and Archaeological Areas Act 1979.[6][7]

The site is always open but accessibility is difficult for anyone who is not able bodied, due to steep slopes and soft ground.[8]
