Cleeve Common, Protected grassland area in Gloucestershire, United Kingdom
The site spans over 400 hectares of limestone grassland, featuring an escarpment, hilltop slopes, and deep valleys such as Padcombe Bottom.
The Cleeve Common Trust, established by an Act of Parliament in 1890, manages this private land that was originally woodland cleared 6000 years ago.
The grassland serves as grazing grounds for local farmers with specific rights to bring their sheep and cattle between April and November.
Visitors must keep dogs on short leads between March and July, and cyclists are permitted only on designated bridleways across the common.
The site preserves rare limestone grassland habitat that covered 40% of Cotswolds before 1935 but now represents only 1.5% of the region.
