Gooderstone Warren is a 21.6-hectare (53-acre) biological Site of Special Scientific Interest south of Cockley Cley in Norfolk.[1][2] It is part of the Breckland Special Area of Conservation[3] and Special Protection Area.[4]

This sandy site has soils which range from acidic to calcareous, resulting in a variety of grassland types. There is a pit at the north end which has flora including cowslips and the uncommon purple milk vetch.[5]

The site is private land with no public access.
