Description:

The common is the remains of what was once a large area of lowland heath. Heathland shrubs such as ling, bell heather, and gorse remain in the more open areas. The common forms part of the Hampton Estate.

There are two ponds with associated wetland and carr areas, and they contain a good range of aquatic plants and invertebrates.

There are a number of public rights of way and there are car parks and picnic areas available for visitors to the site.
