Midhurst Common
Just a stone’s throw from the town centre, Midhurst common is a delightful place to explore with plenty of paths through woodland and sandy heath. Three ponds are home to an abundance of fish and are accessed by silver sandy dunes.
Oakhanger & Shortheath Common
The attractive village of Oakhanger is bordered by Shortheath Common, which has special conservation status in recognition of its many habitats. It also has a rather splendid play area right beside the start of this short walk.
Thursley & Hankley Common
There is plenty of variation on this walk from pine woodland to open heathland. The pretty village of Thursley makes a good resting point halfway with its pub and park.
