    I often come here for the peace and quiet and the many paths you can walk on! It is easy accessible from many areas too

    As somewhere to park overnight, peacefully, with a pub nearby it was ideal. Free, no facilities but horses wandering on the heath, people walking their dogs. Nothing to grumble about.

    Great morning watching various kites being flown, it could have done with a little more breeze to help get more kites up and flying.

    Beautiful place to sit and chill. Could do with a cafe in addition to the pub (which is very good) Watch out for little gifts left by antisocial dog owners.

    Lovely little area to walk the dog, and grab a drink at the pub.

    Has two beer gardens, one in enclosed area around the back and another to the side of the building not to forget the huge open common area to the front. The building is old with several small rooms and a main bar, which has my fav White Rat on draft. Beer prices are £££ but location makes up for it.

    A rare example of unspoilt common land with a pinfold, characterful real ale pub & beautiful houses. A range of easy walks available. An oasis of calm just a few miles from the city centre.
