Terrain and map
An area of typical Surrey heathland with a mix of largely deciduous woodland and open areas of heather and grassland. The terrain is undulating with some steep slopes. There is bracken in many parts of the common, however this is starting to flatten and can be crossed with ease in most instances. There are many rabbit holes which should be avoided!
