The south side of the summit of Knowle Hill is home to the grass Wood Small-reed (Calamagrostis epigejos). The population of this plant forms a circular patch some 20 metres wide, which is visible from Bishop Sutton 1.2 km south across Hollow Brook. It has been suggested that this patch is a single clone which has spread by means of underground rhizomes, and may be 200 years old.[1]
The hill is declared open access land under the Countryside and Rights of Way Act 2000[2] and is on the route of the Chew Valley Three Peaks walk,[3] and the Two Rivers Way.[4]
