Gong Hill is a 5.9-hectare (15-acre) biological Site of Special Scientific Interest south of Farnham in Surrey.[1][2]
This heathland site is dominated by ling, bellheather and wavy hair-grass, with other plants including bryophytes and lichens. The south facing aspect of the site and patches of bare sand make it suitable for egg-laying reptiles, including a large population of the endangered and specially protected sand lizard.[3]
The site is private land with no public access.
