Sound Heath, Common land and nature reserve in Sound, England.
Sound Heath spans 8.1 hectares of varied landscapes including heathland, grassland, scrub, woodland, and multiple water bodies near Nantwich.
The land received official protection status in 1959 when the Nantwich Rural District Council implemented regulations under the Commons Act of 1899.
The preservation of this common land reflects the English tradition of maintaining shared natural spaces for community use and environmental education.
Visitors can access the heath through minor roads and footpaths, with the site located approximately 5 kilometers southwest of Nantwich.
The wetland areas contain rare species such as bog St John's-wort, floating club rush, and the Enochrus isotae water scavenger beetle.
