Welcome to Heath Common

Heath Common is a beautiful and serene location situated in the heart of West Sussex. The common 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 outdoor enthusiasts who come to explore the stunning landscape and enjoy the fresh air. The common is also a great place for birdwatching, with a variety of species including the Dartford warbler, stonechat, and nightjar.

The common is steeped in history and has been a significant location for centuries. It was once used as a grazing ground for sheep and cattle, and during the Second World War, it was used as a training ground for soldiers. Today, the common is a protected area, and efforts are being made to preserve its natural beauty and biodiversity. Visitors can explore the area on foot or by bike, and there are several trails and paths that wind through the heathland.

Heath Common is a place of tranquillity and natural beauty that offers a welcome escape from the hustle and bustle of modern life. The area is a haven for wildlife, and visitors can spot a range of animals, including deer, rabbits, and foxes. The common is also home to several rare species of plants, including the heath milkwort and the heath spotted orchid. Whether you're looking for a peaceful walk in the countryside or an opportunity to connect with nature, Heath Common is the perfect destination.
