Percy Pit lies between Newburn and Lemington. Much of the site is grassland, some cut short for recreational use, the remainder left long to encourage wildlife. Hadrians' Way, the walkway/cycleway runs along the southern boundary of Percy Pit just above the road. It was designated as a Site of Nature Conservation Importance (SNCI) due to its grassland butterflies which include the Dingy Skipper.
