Wouldham Common

The reserve runs along the scarp slope and consists of a mosaic of habitats from chalk grassland through scrub to woodland.

This reserve is not open to the public. 

  • No facilities

Size: 38 hectares

Grazing animals: Yes. Mostly goats but sometimes Hebridean sheep in the winter.

Walking trails: There is no public access to the reserve but public footpaths run along the edge of the reserve.

Dogs: No dogs permitted

The footpaths/bridleway that run along the edges are quite steep with one of them having steps so not wheelchair or pushchair friendly. They can get slippy when it is wet. The path along the top is a road, is more wheelchair/push chair friendly but does have pot holes.
