Greenham and Crookham Commons management plan 2009-2014: Recreation

1) Introduction

The common covers an extensive area (in excess of 500 ha.) comprising a mixture of landscape types and is crisscrossed by a network of both formal and informal paths. It consequently provides ample opportunities for quiet informal recreation.

2) Background

A range of recreational activities occur on the common - walking (either with or without dogs) being the most popular, followed by cycling, running and horseriding.

There is a long history of use of the common for informal recreation, both pre-dating recent military use of the site and occurring concurrently with it (on areas outside the old perimeter fence).

3) Rights of access

4) Restrictions

5) Facilities

6) Access to the common – current position

7) Access to the common – issues to address

8) Aims and Objectives (2009 – 2014)
