Conistone Old Pasture

Conistone Old Pasture is a Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI) within Yorkshire Dales National Park in North Yorkshire, England. It is located 1.2 miles (2 km) north of the town of Grassington and it borders the village of Conistone. This area is protected because of the species rich calcareous grassland and the biological and geological importance of the limestone pavements within this protected area. The long-distance footpath called the Dales Way passes through this protected area. Conistone Old Pasture SSSI is adjacent to another protected area called Bastow Wood SSSI. A previously recognised Site of Special Scientific Interest here was called Conistone Old Pasture and Bastow Wood.
