Ashtead Common, Ancient woodland and nature reserve in Surrey, England
Ashtead Common spans 200 hectares of woodland, featuring a network of paths through dense oak and hornbeam forest sections interspersed with open glades.
The City of London Corporation acquired this land in the 1870s to protect the countryside around London from development and maintain public access.
The common serves as an educational center where researchers study woodland ecosystems and monitor the population of endangered species living within its boundaries.
Multiple entrance points provide access to the reserve, with dedicated parking facilities and marked trails suitable for walking, cycling, and horse riding.
The woodland contains over 2,300 pollarded oak trees, aged between 300 and 400 years, creating specialized habitats for rare deadwood-dependent species.
