Pilch Fields is an 11.1-hectare (27-acre) biological Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI) west of Great Horwood in Buckinghamshire.[1][2] It is managed by the Berkshire, Buckinghamshire and Oxfordshire Wildlife Trust.[3]

The site has two fields called Big Pilch and Little Pilch. The varied habitats in Big Pilch include wetland, fen, scrub, a stream and ridge-and-furrow grassland. The stream continues into Little Pilch, which has spring-fed fen and grassland. Over two hundred flowering plants have been recorded.[4] Tall hedges provide additional ecological interest. Invertebrates include butterflies, moths and many ants.[1] There are birds such as turtle doves, yellowhammers and reed buntings.[3]

There is access from Pilch Lane through a small field which is part of the nature reserve but is not part of the SSSI.[4]
