Little Heath, Barnham is a 46.2 hectare biological Site of Special Scientific Interest south-west of Barnham in Suffolk. It is a Nature Conservation Review site, Grade I, and part of the Breckland Special Protection Area under the European Union Directive on the Conservation of Wild Birds
Grazing by rabbits and sheep helps to keep the sward on parts of this site as open grassland, but some parts have been invaded by self-sown woodland. The diverse flora in areas grazed by sheep includes field woodrush, hare’s foot clover and harebell. Stone curlews nest on short and open turf.
There is access by footpaths from Barnham.
