Question

what is common land?

Answer 1

Over 500,000 hectares of common land exist in England and Wales today, accounting for some 4% of the land area. Much of this land is marginal in character, comprising mountains and moorlands, coastal strips, wetlands and marshes. These landscapes have historically been, and continue to be, of vital importance to commoners and rural communities, and are of exceptional conservation value. Though seeming ‘wild’, they have a long history of land use and regulation. In addition, some of our most iconic surviving commons are urban, providing much-needed green spaces in our towns and cities.
