Hartlebury Common

The largest and most important area of heathland remaining in
Worcestershire, this site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI) is
a delight to visit time and time again. With dappled woodlands,
heather clad hills, a rare acid bog and a pool and brook that
attracts lots of creatures, you're spoilt for choice on this
site.
