Ashtead Common
'Ashtead Common is a 200 hectare (500 acre) ancient wooded common with over 2,300 ancient oak pollards located in north-east Surrey. The site has been part of the Epsom and Ashtead Commons Site of Special Scientific Interest since 1955 due to its rich community of breeding birds. It has also been a National Nature Reserve since 1995 due to the decaying wood of ancient trees and the rare invertebrates that live in it. The site includes two ancient Scheduled Monuments - a Roman villa and a triangular earthwork ...'
City of London Corporation
'But Ashtead is more than a nature reserve or museum: it is a place where local people and visitors from further away can enjoy the peace and quiet of the countryside just a stone's throw from London. Nature lovers, walkers, cyclists and horse riders can explore rights of way, enjoying the tranquillity of this beautiful wooded common. A programme of guided walks, events and educational activities ensures that school children and other visitors are able to find out more about the site and its management.'
