Holly Rock Fields is a 3.9 hectares (9.6 acres) biological Site of Special Scientific Interest east of Coalville in Leicestershire.[1][2]

This is a nationally important site as it is primarily the nationally scarce National Vegetation Classification type MG5, crested dog’s-tail and common knapweed grassland. The fields have not been subject to agricultural intensification, and they are floristically diverse.[3]

The site is private land with no public access.
