Join us on Wednesday 7th May 10am - 12pm for a guided walk around our heathland nature reserve.
Ockham Common consists of more than 800 acres of heathland and woodland.
It is a nationally important site for dragonflies and damselflies, with twenty species recorded. It also attracts many rare birds, including the hobby, which is one of the few creatures that can actually catch dragonflies.
Journey through the centuries on a guided walk across Ockham Common - from its first record in the Domesday Book of 1086, through Georgian innovation and wartime airfields, to today’s conservation efforts. Uncover the layers of history etched into this ancient Surrey landscape.
Important information:
The walk is approximately 2 miles on mostly sandy tracks with some minor obstacles and steps. Walking boots are recommended. We will walk at a gentle pace with lots of opportunities to stop and ask questions.
This walk is aimed at adults (18+ years old). Unfortunately this site is not suitable for wheelchair users or people with limited mobility. Please do not bring dogs on this walk.
Parking and meeting place:
Parking is available off Old Lane - we will meet by "Ockham Bites."
Refreshments and toilets are available at Ockham Bites before and after the walk.
