WALDEN COUNTRYSIDE COMMON LANDS

 
facebook

All Walden Countryside Area commons have public access at all times. Most of them are tiny and of no great amenity or wildlife importance. Few of them have any known owner (some are managed by the parish council) and all bar two have no associated common rights (to graze of take wood for example).

It is difficult to match these bits of common land with designated wildlife sites but it would be surprising if the larger commons did not have significant wildlife value - unless they have been close-mown. The Ellis Green Common is the major part of the Ellis Green LoWS and is much larger than the 0.8 ha recorded in the official commons list.
