Bucklebury Common, Nature reserve in West Berkshire, England.

Bucklebury Common spans 345 hectares of diverse terrain, including ancient woodlands, heathland, and grassland within the North Wessex Downs protected area.

The land functioned as a grazing area for sheep and cattle until the early twentieth century when agricultural practices shifted in the region.

The oak avenue at Chapel Row stands as a monument to Queen Elizabeth I's visit more than four centuries ago.

Visitors can access the common through multiple parking areas on Briff Lane, Fanny's Lane, Cox's Lane junction, and Angel's corner.

The conservation efforts focus on removing bracken, birch, and pine to create habitats for specific bird species like nightjars and woodlarks.
