Whittlesford - Thriplow Hummocky Fields
Sites of Special Scientific Interest in Cambridgeshire
Whittlesford - Thriplow Hummocky Fields is a 55.6-hectare (137-acre) biological Site of Special Scientific Interest between Whittlesford and Thriplow in Cambridgeshire. This site has two unusual species, the nationally rare grass-poly, which is only found in south Cambridgeshire on the British mainland, and the nationally uncommon fairy shrimp Chirocephalus diaphanus. They are found in shallow hollows in arable fields, which are the result of ice lenses melting at the end of the last ice age. There are also uncommon liverworts.
