ALLER HILL

'Aller Hill' () is a 18.4 hectare (45.4 acre) biological Site of Special Scientific Interest near Aller in Somerset, notified in 1988.
The site contains three species of plant which are nationally rare and a further three which are of restricted distribution in Somerset. The central area contains a sward dominated by Sheep's Fescue (''Festuca ovina'') in combination with Yellow Oat-grass (''Trisetum flavescens'') and Quaking-grass (''Briza media''). Salad Burnet (''Sanguisorba minor'') forms a major component of the sward with Rough Marsh-mallow (''Althaea hirsuta'') and Nit-grass (''Gastridium ventricosum''), two
nationally rare species, also present. ^[1]
Aller and Beer Woods on the slopes of the hill are also disignated as a biological Site of Special Scientific Interest.
