Tag Archives: Chobham Common

We are very privileged to live on the edge of Chobham Common, a Site of Special Scientific Interest, the largest National Nature Reserve in the south-east of England and one of the finest remaining examples of lowland heath in the world.  After days of summer rain, the sun shone through today, and I took time to wander across the common this morning, appreciating both the wide views across the heath as well as the beauty of the insects and flowers that flourish here.  Larks were singing in the sky, and gorse seeds cracked open in the warming sun; spiders lay in wait for their prey, while dried leaves caught in their webs.  It is a beautiful place as I hope the slide show below illustrates.
