Esher Commons, Nature reserve in Surrey, England
The 360-hectare woodland encompasses mature oak, beech, silver birch trees alongside heathland, grassland, marshes, and several ponds supporting varied wildlife.
The land served as common grazing grounds before evolving into protected woodlands, with the A3 Esher bypass construction in 1974 leading to land compensation measures.
Regular community events and educational programs engage local residents in nature activities while promoting environmental awareness through guided walks and workshops.
Visitors can access multiple parking areas along Old Portsmouth Road and Copsem Lane, with marked trails connecting different sections of the commons.
By 2017, scientists recorded 3400 fungal species within this small area, including several previously unknown varieties, establishing its significance for mycological research.
