Bookham Commons () are two commons, situated just to the north of the villages of Great Bookham and Little Bookham, in Surrey, England, 1.51 square kilometres in extent; the individual parts are named Great Bookham Common and Little Bookham Common. A group of dwellings known as the Isle of Wight is situated within the site, and a track, Common Road, leads to it from the northwest. Little Bookham Common (the smaller of the two parts of the site) lies south and west of this track, whereas Great Bookham Common lies to the east. Together the two commons comprise a Site of Special Scientific Interest, originally notified a such in 1961. The site is owned by the National Trust. A network of public footpaths and public bridleways cross the site: in addition, there are a number of concessionary horse rides.〔 == Site description == The site sits on London Clay. Habitat types present include woodland, scrub, grassland and open water. Woodland covers approximately two-thirds of the site. The majority of this woodland is mature and dominated by pedunculate oak (''Quercus robur''). These woodlands are dissected by a network of rides. Little Bookham Common is a mosaic of rough grassland and scrub; much of this common is poorly drained and there are several old gunpits and bomb craters. The areas of open grassland are dominated by tufted hair-grass (''Deschampsia cespitosa''). There are several woodland ponds on the site and a tributary of the River Mole runs across it. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Bookham Commons」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
