Yateley Common Country Park

With woodlands, heathland and ponds, Yateley Common offers a variety of experiences to visitors. You can walk, cycle and horse ride through 193 hectares of varied and wildlife rich surroundings.  The Common also offers visitors the opportunity to fish, birdwatch, and get involved in practical conservation through volunteering.

There is no charge for access to the Common.

For those wanting to learn more about the site, its habitats and its history, the site rangers provide a variety of events and education activities throughout the year.Located between Yateley and the A30. There are four car parks, two are adjacent to large grassy areas suitable for picnics and general amenity, at Wyndhams Pool off Cricket Hill Lane, and two car parks off the A30 between Yateley and Blackwater. Access to west end of the site by parking at Blackbushe Airport, off the A30.

Yateley Common is recognised for its importance to nature conservation and is protected under both UK and EU law. It is also a vital recreational resource for the local community and visitors to the area.

Much of the Common is also designated as a Site of Special Scientific Interest, and a Special Protection Area (SPA) because of its importance for wildlife. It has a dense network of bridleways with many smaller paths. We ask horse riders to use designated bridleways and walkers to keep to paths. This will help to minimise disturbance to the many internationally important ground nesting birds that use the Common.
