Staines Moor, Nature reserve in Surrey, England.
The 510-hectare site contains meadows, reservoirs, and three branches of the River Colne flowing through fertile alluvial soil on clay beds.
The land has maintained its status as common grazing ground since 1065, allowing registered individuals to keep one horse and two cattle.
The moor functions as part of the South West London Waterbodies Special Protection Area, supporting numerous bird species and wildlife observation activities.
Visitors can access the reserve through multiple entry points, including Moor Lane, Stanwell Moor, and footpaths near Wraysbury Gardens.
The northern section contains anthills constructed by Yellow Meadow Ants, which specialists consider the oldest ant structures in Britain.
