Family exploring Greenham and Crookham Common

About

After many years as a military site, Greenham and Crookham Common has been restored and reopened to the public. Paths and marked walk routes allow you to explore the heathland as well as taking you round old bomb sites, taxiways and the perimeter of the cruise missile silo enclosure.

The area is a Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI) and cattle and Exmoor ponies graze here. It is therefore important to stay on paths and keep dogs under close control. This will avoid damage to rare plant communities and disturbance of wildlife and livestock.
