Frensham Common covers an area of 1000 acres and consists of heathland and woodland. In the past, commons were used by local people for fuel and to graze their livestock which served to maintain the variety of wildlife that can still be found today. Visitors can wander freely across the common along marked-out trails and enjoy spotting the wildlife. There are many species of bird, sand lizards and smooth snakes to look out for. Close to the car park there is a picnic area where refreshments can be bought.
