Daneway Banks () is a biological Site of Special Scientific Interest in Gloucestershire, notified in 1954 and renotified in 1983. It lies half a mile west of Sapperton and is part of a group of wildlife sites in the Frome Valley that includes Siccaridge Wood and Sapperton Canal reserves.〔1995, "A Wildlife Guide - Siccaridge Wood and Sapperton Valley Nature Reserve', Gloucestershire Wildlife Trust〕〔Kelham, A, Sanderson, J, Doe, J, Edgeley-Smith, M, et al, 1979, 1990, 2002 editions, 'Nature Reserves of the Gloucestershire Trust for Nature Conservation/Gloucestershire Wildlife Trust'〕 The site is in the Cotswold Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.〔(Natural England SSSI information on the citation )〕 The site is managed under lease by the Gloucestershire Wildlife Trust. It is one of a group of nature reserves in Stroud's Golden Valley.〔'The Golden Valley Walk', (undated), Gloucestershire Wildlife Trust〕 The site is listed in the ‘Stroud District’ Local Plan, adopted November 2005, Appendix 6 (online for download) as a Key Wildlife Site.〔(Stroud District Local Plan, adopted November 2005, Appendix 6 ‘Sites of Nature Conservation Interest’ )〕 ==Site==
The upper slopes are Oolitic limestone grassland and is important habitat for plants. However, scrub, woodland and neutral grassland contribute to the site's diversity. The neutral Fuller's Earth clay grassland at the bottom of the slope is less flower-rich, but provides good grazing. The steep scree slope was previously woodland as demonstrated by the presence of Angular Solomon's-seal, Deadly Nightshade, Bluebell and the deep blue flowers of Columbine.〔 Numerous large ant-hills are a prominent feature of the reserve. They are made by the Yellow meadow ant. In some places they may be as a high as a metre. In parts of Gloucestershire the ant hills are known as "emmet casts", "emmet" being the old English word for ant.〔2011, 'Nature Reserves Guide', Gloucestershire Wildlife Trust, issued to celebrate its 50th Anniversary〕
