Northend Common

About Northend Common

Northend Common is our first new reserve since 2014. The site forms the backbone of the beautiful hamlet of Northend, found between Turville Heath and Christmas Common.

The 31-acre area of mixed woodland is characterised by post-war regrowth, open wildflower glades, and an iconic pond by the village green.

As a common, the site gives our charity the chance to protect an important part of the Chilterns natural and cultural heritage. The unique patchwork of habitats which Commons provide, and how they help connect nature across the whole landscape, make them critical sites.

As our site management plan develops, we will conserve and enhance Northend Common to help grow an appreciation and understanding of such sites within the Chilterns landscape. Working with residents and improving the habitat will be a priority for connecting people with nature.

Directions

Also on Google Maps and What3Words.
Northend can be found by heading east from Christmas Common.

Parking: Very limited parking is available near the Village Hall along the Green, please be considerate of the habitat and local residents.
Please make sure you park responsibly! 

Prior to visiting, why not download some of our local walks. There are hundreds of Chiltern Walks Leaflets  for you to enjoy.
