Oakley Hill is a remnant of chalk downland and beech woodland above one of the quarries of the former Chinnor Cement Works. Scrub clearance and controlled grazing by livestock have maintained and improved the grassland, and many chalkland flowers and butterflies abound here in the summer. The reserve is managed by the Berkshire, Buckinghamshire and Oxfordshire Wildlife Trust.
