Rowhill Nature Reserve covers 55 acres and was once part of a private estate which produced timber and bricks. Signs of both of these old industries are still in evidence. Given Local Nature Reserve status in 1985 it is now returning, in part at least, back into the working wood it had once been. It comprises mostly mixed deciduous woodland and working coppice and is also the source of the River Blackwater. As well as the deciduous woodland, which is noted for its Bluebells in spring a surprisingly diverse range of other habitats can be found including sphagnum bog, ponds and streams. The reserve is situated on the Surrey/Hampshire border between Aldershot and Farnham.
