Fames Rough is a 23-hectare (57-acre) nature reserve south-west of Chipstead in Surrey. It is managed by the Surrey Wildlife Trust[2] and is part of the Chipstead Downs Site of Special Scientific Interest.[3]

This site is notable for its wild flowers.[2] Part of it is grassland which is periodically ploughed in order to provide a habitat for three very rare arable weeds, ground pine, cut-leaved germander and mat-grass fescue.[4]
