Harrow Weald Common, Protected woodland area in Harrow Weald, United Kingdom.

The 18-hectare natural reserve contains a mixture of woodland, heath, and pasture areas with diverse plant species and wildlife populations.

The Metropolitan Commons Act of 1899 established a board of Conservators to manage the area after revoking most rights held by local commoners.

The name Weald derives from Old English wald, reflecting the traditional wooded upland character of this section of the former Forest of Middlesex.

The Harrow Nature Conservation Forum manages the site and conducts regular maintenance work to preserve its ecological features and public access.

The geological layers at Harrow Weald reveal the most complete exposure of Pleistocene gravel beds situated above the Claygate Beds in London.
