Potton Hall Fields, Westleton is a 16.7-hectare (41-acre) biological Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI) west of Dunwich in Suffolk. [1] [2] It is in the Suffolk Coast and Heaths Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. [3]
This site comprises two gently sloping fields on sandy, well drained soil. It has been designated an SSSI because it has a population of several thousand plants of the nationally rare red-tipped cudweed in large patches throughout the site. The plant is only found in two other counties in Britain. [4]
There is no public access to the site but it can be viewed from Sandlings Walk.
