Ebernoe, Petworth GU28 9LD
May Walking Moot
Join us for an enchanting walk through a varied ancient wood pasture with ponds, streams, meadows and reclaimed arable land under conversion back to woodland.
Ebernoe Common is dominated by old wood pasture where Commoners would have turned out their cattle or pigs to graze and browse on young trees and scrub, Beech mast and acorns, or on the grassy meadows in glades and clearings. Grazing stopped by the middle of the 20th century and the wood pasture became more and more overgrown. When Sussex Wildlife Trust bought the reserve in 1980, great effort went into opening up glades and rides, and restoring grazing to the reserve.
Entrance to the Church carpark is off Steel''s Lane, down a very narrow road. The common is directly behind the Church of the Holy Trinity
Please try to car share where possible as this will help both the environment and avoid taking too much space in the carpark.
