A superb nature reserve nestled amongst the housing of Kinson.

Kinson Common has a surprising number of habitats, including woodland, heathland, marsh and meadows. This means it’s home to a wide range of plants and animals.

The heathland at Kinson Common is a Site of Special Scientific Interest and a Special Conservation Area.

As well as the wildlife that lives on Kinson Common you might also catch a glimpse of one of the grazing animals we use to help us manage the site.

There are occasional guided walks at Kinson Common throughout the year.
