Selborne Common, Natural conservation site in Selborne, England
The 246-acre protected area features ancient beechwood forests, chalk-based soils, and grasslands that support numerous plant and animal species.
The medieval Selborne Priory managed this land before its transfer to Magdalen College, Oxford, and later donation to the National Trust in 1932.
Naturalist Gilbert White conducted extensive research on the local flora and fauna, contributing to the scientific understanding of British natural history.
Multiple walking paths traverse the common, with steep routes from Selborne village and more level access points from Newton Valence.
The site reaches 680 feet above sea level at Selborne Hanger, creating varied habitats for rare orchids and protected wildlife species.
