'''Barton Gravel Pit''' is a {{convert|1.1|hectare|acre|adj=on}} nature reserve east of [[Barton-le-Clay]] in [[Bedfordshire]]. It is managed by the [[Wildlife Trust for Bedfordshire, Cambridgeshire and Northamptonshire]].<ref name=barton>{{cite web|url=http://www.wildlifebcn.org/reserves/barton-gravel-pit|title=Barton Gravel Pit|publisher=Wildlife Trust for Bedfordshire, Cambridgeshire and Northamptonshire|accessdate=20 December 2015}}</ref><br />
<br />
This former gravel pit has been partially filled in to become flower-rich chalk grassland. Plants include [[Torilis nodosa|knotted hedge-parsley]], [[Papaver rhoeas|common poppy]] and [[great pignut]]. Mature beech trees provide a habitat for the [[Cephalanthera damasonium|white helleborine orchid]].<ref name=barton/><br />
<br />
There is access from the second public bridleway on the right off Hexton Road, proceeding from Barton-le-Clay. When the path turns left, the site is 100 metres on the left. There are no signs or information board on the site.<br />
