Witley and Milford Commons (NT)
Recommended by
Overview
Witley and Milford Commons are easily accessible and the footpaths and bridleways are clearly marked. The area varies, from extensive heathland views to secluded woodland glades. There’s always something new to see; from the breathtaking purple heathers and buzzing insects to majestic trees and strange fungi. During the warmer months the Commons are alive with song from birds like Tree pipits and Woodlarks. Witley and Milford Commons is designated as a Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI).
About the area
Surrey is one of England’s most wooded counties, with over a quarter of the landscape designated as an official AONB and plenty of history evident in the countryside. You’ll find sandy tracks, cottage gardens and welcoming village inns, and on the fringe of Greater London you can picnic in Chaldon’s hay meadows, explore the downs at Epsom, or drift idly beside the River Thames.
