Epsom Common, Nature reserve in Surrey, England
The 176-hectare green space contains varied habitats including woodlands, grasslands, and ponds that support numerous local wildlife species throughout the year.
Medieval monks from Chertsey Abbey created fishing ponds on this former manorial waste land during the 12th century, establishing its early human use.
The discovery of magnesium sulphate springs in the area led to the creation of Epsom salts, which became a sought-after health remedy in the 1600s.
Visitors can access designated walking paths from multiple entry points, with dedicated parking facilities available at Rushett Lane and Stew Ponds car park.
The common maintains protected status as a Site of Special Scientific Interest due to its rare combination of grassland, woodland, and wetland environments.
