Furze Hill is a 5.8 hectare biological Site of Special Scientific Interest in three nearby areas east of Hildersham in Cambridgeshire.[1][2]

The site has steep banks of glacial deep sandy gravel, and is one of the few examples of a sandy habitat in the county. There are several rare plants, such as hoary cinquefoils, pasque flowers and maiden pinks.[3]

The site is private land with no public access.
