Beskrivning
Chobham Common is important for its environment - dry heathland is rare and it has been reduced in area, by development and roads. A walk across the rolling site can give a sense of wilderness rare in south-east England (despite overflights from Heathrow). In summer, evening visits are assured of hearing, and possibly seeing, nattskärra. morkulla may also be seen. Chobham Common is managed by Surrey County Council and Surrey Wildlife Trust.
This article describes only that part of Chobham Common south of the M3 motorway.
Detaljer
Tillgänglighet
Chobham Common is used for recreational walking and, consequently, there are several car parks on its perimeter. Click on a P in the map for directions. Longcross railway station is 1 mile away. The site is criss-crossed by several paths, and a principal route cuts east-west across it. It's a good idea to remember landmarks as the curving footpaths can confuse one's sense of direction. The suggested walking routes on the map are not exhaustive, but they cover high and low ground and an area of wetland.
Wheelchair access is limited, with a recommended route from Longcross carpark. Visitors are urged to remain on paths, to avoid disturbance to wildlife and damage to a sensitive environment.

NejExtra information
There are no toilets or shelters on site. It can be exposed, so dress suitably and carry water, especially in sunny weather. Under no circumstances should a fire be lit - the area is dry and vulnerable. Ensure that any cigarettes are fully out before discarding them, preferably take them home, with your litter.
The location of nightjars is unpredictable - areas heavily frequented one evening can be abandoned the following night - keep looking and listening.
