Wortham Ling is a 53.2 hectare biological Site of Special Scientific Interest north of Wortham in Suffolk.[1][2]

This site has acid grassland and dry heath on a sandy soil. Some areas are intensely grazed by rabbits, producing a very short sward which is a suitable habitat for lichens and mosses. Butterflies include many graylings.[3]

There is access to the site from several roads and footpaths.
