Welcome to Great Common

Great Common is a beautiful area located in West Sussex, England. It is a vast expanse of heathland that is home to a diverse range of flora and fauna. The area is a popular destination for nature lovers and hikers who come to explore the stunning landscape. The heathland is dotted with gorse bushes, heather, and bracken, which provide a habitat for a variety of birds, insects, and small mammals. The area is also home to several rare species of plants and animals, making it an important conservation site.

Great Common is a great place to visit for those who love outdoor activities. The area has several walking trails that take visitors through the heathland and offer stunning views of the surrounding countryside. The trails are well-marked and suitable for all levels of fitness. Visitors can also enjoy cycling, horse riding, and bird watching in the area. The heathland is particularly beautiful in the summer when the heather is in full bloom, and the area is alive with the sound of birdsong.

Great Common is a unique and special place that is worth visiting. It is a place where visitors can escape the hustle and bustle of everyday life and immerse themselves in nature. The area is a testament to the beauty and diversity of the English countryside and is a reminder of the importance of preserving our natural heritage. Whether you are a nature lover, hiker, or just looking for a peaceful retreat, Great Common is a must-visit destination.

Local Dog Walks

Petworth Park
One Of My Favourite Areas To Walk, Apparently The Park Is 750 Acres, Has Access To The Back Of Petworth House, Glorious Lakes And A Beautiful Uninterrupted Views. Once You Move Away From The Main Road, You Can Believe That You Are In The Middle Of No-Where. There Are Quite A Lot Of Deer, But They Seem Unfazed By People And Dogs. 258 London Rd Lancashire 3.83 miles London Road
