Welcome to Dunsfold Common

Dunsfold Common is a beautiful and serene nature reserve located in the heart of Surrey. The common is home to a diverse range of flora and fauna, including rare species such as the Dartford warbler and the nightjar. The common is also a popular destination for birdwatchers, hikers, and nature enthusiasts who come to enjoy the peaceful surroundings and stunning views.

The common is also steeped in history, with evidence of human habitation dating back to the Bronze Age. The area was once used for grazing livestock and was also a popular spot for charcoal production. Today, visitors can explore the remains of old charcoal pits and learn about the area's rich history at the Dunsfold Common Heritage Centre.

In addition to its natural beauty and historical significance, Dunsfold Common is also an important site for conservation. The common is managed by the Surrey Wildlife Trust, which works to protect and preserve the area's unique ecosystem. The trust also runs a range of educational programs and events, aimed at raising awareness about the importance of conservation and encouraging people to get involved in protecting the natural world.
