Westfield Common

Westfield Common is a protected grassland and wetland area at Woking's southern edge, featuring interconnected walking trails through diverse plant life. The common spans open terrain with varying vegetation types and multiple points of entry for visitors.

The site contains Late Bronze Age artifacts discovered through archaeological work, now held in the British Museum's collection. The London Necropolis Company purchased portions during the 1800s, though the land remained available for public use.

This common serves as a gathering place where local residents come to walk, observe wildlife, and enjoy time in nature throughout the year. People use the space for daily recreation and seasonal activities that connect them to the landscape.

The common is accessible from several points, particularly from Westfield Road and Murray Road where parking facilities are available near the main entrances. Visitors should wear appropriate footwear as the terrain includes both open paths and boggy sections.

The land underwent archaeological excavation that revealed evidence of human activity from prehistoric times. These discoveries show that people have been drawn to this location for thousands of years.
