Micheldever Spoil Heaps is a 32.1-hectare (79-acre) biological Site of Special Scientific Interest in Micheldever in Hampshire.[1][2]
This site is composed of spoil heaps from nineteenth-century railway construction, and it is described by Natural England as "of quite exceptional botanical importance". Most species have colonised the site from nearby, but some from a distance, and the plant assemblage is in a state of flux, with many rareties. There are large populations of fly orchids.[3]
The site is open to the public.[4]
