Holly Copse is a an area of chalk downland with areas of ancient coppiced woodland and areas of light scrub. The area is too steep to be ploughed and has only ever been grazed, thereby resulting in a flower rich grassland habitat, particularly suitable for butterflies, of which there are a large number of endangered species present during the year. The site is particularly good for Buzzards, Kestrels and the occasional Red Kite. The site is owned by the National Trust. Access is across the B40009 from the small car park at the top of the hill leading into Streatley.
