Bobbitshole is a {{convert|1.8|ha|acre}} Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI) designated for its geological importance. The site is to the east of the parish, located on a sewage works site to the south of Belstead Brook. It is a nationally important reference site for the study of the Pleistocene, providing a record of the buildup of sediment and organic material during the last inter-glacial period.[http://www.sssi.naturalengland.org.uk/citation/citation_photo/1002321.pdf Bobbitshole, Belstead], SSSI citation, Natural England. Retrieved 2013-02-01. The site was discovered during excavation of the sewage works site and was designated in 1987.
