Kilmond Scar is a Site of Special Scientific Interest in the Teesdale district of south-west County Durham, England. It lies just south of the A66 road, about 3 km east of the village of Bowes.
Kilmond Scar is a prominent south-facing scarp of Upper Carboniferous Limestone. Its rock ledges and scree slopes support a variety of drought-tolerant flora. Elsewhere, deeper limestone soils support a diversity of calcareous grassland species.[1]
