Minchinhampton Common, Protected grassland area in Gloucestershire, England
The 182-hectare common extends across a limestone plateau with steep slopes descending into the Nailsworth Valley and Frome Valley.
The common contains structures from multiple time periods, including Iron Age earthworks known as the Bulwarks and burial mounds from the Neolithic period.
Local property owners within Minchinhampton Manor maintain traditional grazing rights on the common, continuing practices that predate the enclosure system.
From May to October, cattle roam freely across the common, necessitating a 40 mph speed limit for vehicles traveling through the area.
The quarries within the common contain significant Bathonian marine fossils, making it a primary research location for Middle Jurassic period studies.
