Overview

Starting from the NWT car park the walk will take us over open heathland and sandy paths to areas with long views over countryside. Please be aware there are a couple of styles on the way. The Common is a site of Special Scientific Interest with grazing for cattle and ponies, has many rare plants and insects and also has an interesting history.
