Being so close to London, Elmbridge Borough Council is fortunate to own and manage 14 countryside sites, which cover 550 hectares, for the benefit of wildlife and recreation. The largest area, the Esher commons covers 360 hectares and is valued so highly it has been designated by the Government as a Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI). It was chosen for its wildlife value as well as providing a valuable green space for the local community.
In this Esher Commons leaflet you will find out more about the Esher commons, its SSSI status, the best places to visit and how to access them. The history of the Commons will give you a fascinating insight into why the Commons look the way they do today, what they were used for during the war and the types of animals and plant life that call the Esher Commons their home.
