How Hill Track is a 3.1-hectare (7.7-acre) biological Site of Special Scientific Interest east of Mildenhall in Suffolk.[1][2] It is in the Breckland Special Protection Area under the European Union Directive on the Conservation of Wild Birds.[3][4]

This is described by Natural England as a grassland site which provides suitable conditions for seven rare plants, including perennial knawel, small alison, purple-stem cat's tail and sickle medick.[5]

There is access to this site, which is now mainly woodland, from a footpath which runs along its southern edge.
