Welcome to Selston Common

Selston Common is a beautiful and historic site located in Nottinghamshire, England. The common is a designated Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI) and is home to a variety of rare and endangered plant and animal species. The common is also a popular destination for walkers, hikers, and nature enthusiasts who come to enjoy the stunning scenery and peaceful atmosphere.

The common covers an area of approximately 70 hectares and is made up of a mixture of heathland, woodland, and grassland habitats. The heathland is particularly important as it is home to a number of rare and endangered species such as the heath fritillary butterfly and the sand lizard. The woodland areas are also important as they provide habitat for a variety of bird species including the great spotted woodpecker and the tawny owl.

In addition to its natural beauty, Selston Common also has a rich cultural history. The common was once part of the ancient Sherwood Forest and was used as a hunting ground by the kings of England. Today, visitors can still see the remains of the old hunting lodge and the ancient boundary markers that once marked the edge of the forest. Overall, Selston Common is a unique and special place that is well worth a visit for anyone interested in nature, history, or simply enjoying the great outdoors.
